Venus of Willendorf •
The Venus of Willendorf is one of the oldest and most famous artifacts in the world. It is a small, portable human figurine that was found in 1908 at Willendorf, Austria. The figurine is made of limestone and is estimated to be around 25,000 years old. The Venus of Willendorf is only 11.1 centimeters tall and is characterized by its inflated features, including large breasts, hips, and thighs. The figure’s head is also disproportionately small, with no facial features except for a small indentation where the face should be. The purpose of the Venus of Willendorf is still unknown, but it is believed to be a fertility symbol.

Did you know that the famous film "The Passion of the Christ" features a scene where a mysterious character appears holding a baby, while Jesus is physically punished?
The scene is somewhat spooky even though the mysterious character doesn't say a word, and the weird baby's appearance leaves much to think about.
But the scene has a meaning that few were able to understand: It turns out that Jesus Christ is being whipped and Satan appears with "a baby" to show Jesus that even "The Devil" cares for his son, while God allows him to be cruelly humiliated.
The one carrying the old Child is Lucifer and has an androgynous appearance, since angels have no gender.
