There is a story that did rounds on the internet about finding the oldest ever known idol (KALPA VIGRAHA) to mankind.

The info found on the Internet says Kalpa Vigraha was found in an 8-inch thick box with a manuscript written on wooden slats. The manuscript mentioned the name of the Idol- “kalpa maha-ayusham rasayana vigraha” which was then translated & abbreviated to “Kalpa Vigraha.” The idol depicts Lord Shiva kneeling or seated on one knee with Snake as a crown on his head. They say like, with radiocarbon dating of the chest in which it was found to be 28,450 years old. And a big collection of conspiracy theories have been spun involving the object. The stories star Tibetan monks, the CIA, secret water experiments, disappearance of the idol and what not, which will look straight out of a plot from an Indiana Jones movie as source of the news couldn't be verified.

Real or not, we've decided to immortalize this mysterious object on the blockchain forever.
