At present, the Shigir Idol is located at the Yekaterinburg History Museum, the lack of funds has prevented researchers from proper testing for age of this historical treasure. The statue represents a unique, live and very complicated example of history, it is a very rare finding, and without a doubt one of Europe’s most important findings in years. According to experts, this time capsule has coded messages that talk about the creation of the world. It is covered with encrypted information that researchers have not decoded. It will take time and patience to decipher what this statue has to tell.

Svetlana Savchenko the head of the department that studies the idol in the historical museum of Yekaterinburg, concludes that a straight line present on the surface of the Shigr idol actually represents the ground or horizon, the boundary between heaven and earth, water and sky, or boundary between the worlds. Uwe Hoysner, from Berlin Archaeological Institute said: ‘The Idol is carved from larch, which, as we see by the annual rings, was at least 159 years old.
