Today I will tell you about one mysterious artifact from the Anthropological Museum in Mexico City, whose origin remains a mystery even to scientists.

The artifact is a monkey-shaped obsidian bowl.

Questions are raised by the material from which this bowl is made.

Obsidian is a very fragile material, so it is very difficult to process it, not to mention the creation of complex decorations.

In what way or tool did the ancient American Indians manage to take out the breed inside, and also give the bowl a rounded shape?

Although you can put it much easier.

How did they even manage to create something like this if they did not have the necessary tools for such work? Even in our time with modern equipment, working with obsidian is very difficult.

Because of its fragility, a large percentage of marriage is obtained, and here some primitive Indians made such masterpieces without any problems.

At first, I wrote about scientists for a reason, because archaeologists also could not say how this artifact was created.

Its origin at the moment remains a big mystery.

Maybe it was not made by the Indians at all, but by an older and more advanced civilization, whose artifacts were found by the Indians.

In the same museum you can find another interesting artifact.

True, I'm not sure whether it is made of obsidian or not (not signed anywhere), but I decided to show you.

Take a closer look at the holes in it. How could you make such smooth and well-cut holes? It's a mystery to me.
