Rare 10,000-year-old treasures shed light on the origins of belief and reveal the reality hidden behind creation myths- the true story of how humans created religion and gods. More than 200 finds from prehistoric sites in our region - including masks, sculptures, and modeled skulls - take us on a journey to the sources of religion and mythology.
