The mysterious wooden idol found in the Russian peat bog was dated to 11 000 years old - and contains code that nobody can tell.

The Shigir idol is twice as old as the pyramid and Stonehenge - and is by far the oldest wooden construction of the world. Even more mysterious is that it is covered by what the experts described as 'encrypted code' - a message from a lost civilization.

Professor Mikhail Zilin of the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences said:

The ornaments they cover are nothing but encrypted information. Through this idol, people have passed on knowledge. '

Russian experts think that these strange engravings could contain a system of faith equivalent to the biblical Genesis.

This statue was dated 125 9 years after its discovery in the peat bog before 500 flights.

But with the latest research in Mannheim, Germany, they used accelerated mass spectrometry on small fragments of this statue and found that at least 11 000 was years old.

This means that this sculpture comes from the very beginning of the epoch of the Holocene - the era when mankind grew and began to dominate the world.
