Fun fact: the word “grotesque” refers to those “grottes” (or grottoes, in English). Specifically, it was a style of art inspired by the images on the cave walls, and the elaborate images of animals and mythical creatures associated with the style ended up giving the word its current connotation.
Typical Chinese knockoff… you can tell because Adidas shoes have four stripes only :D (Yes, I know, Mongolia is not China. But this is a joke, not a scientific paper :P )
I wonder what the water level was when those Roman caves were dug. There are a number of sea covered patios, walkways, statues, and house foundations in the Mediterranean Sea indicating that long ago the Med was lower in sea level.

Four costumes, eh? I’ll bet that mummy worked for Hollywood.

Perhaps killer bee statue should soon be accompanied by a murder hornet statue?

The find showed two things, 1. Time travel will exist. 2. Save your old clothes, they’ll come back in style – and forward – and back…
The statue was recently pulled down by protesters who want instead a butterfly statue.

They call them “costumes” today, but back then they were just called “clothes.” And in the SCA it’s commonly referred as “garb”

I tried farming eels once, but they really didn’t like to be planted…BTW, If I ran into a bee THAT big I’d make a statue to it also…

I’d hate to be the sculptor who had to persuade the bee to pose.
