The Large Stone Head Mystery Continues

It looks like the large stone head mystery has been solved...at least partially.

As much as I read his site, you'd think I'd remember this article, but Philip Coppens has written an article previously about the stone head. I actually remember the article now that I've seen it again, but I certainly didn't place it with that picture yesterday.

It seems as though the stone head is from Guatemala, is a bit out of place there, but the overall mystery of it will probably live on forever. Unfortunately, before it was properly studied, anti-government rebels used it for target practice basically destroying it.

I guess the mystery of how a large stone head, vaguely reminiscent of the Easter Island heads, got to Guatemala and when it was carved will probably live on forever. Just another connection from around the world, probably lost forever, it seems.
