4th Century B.C. Statue Unearthed in Syria by davidmorgan on Wednesday, 22 September 2010

From coldrum:

Syrian archaeologists Unearthed a stone statue dating back to the early 4th century B.C. was unearthed in Kadmous, Tartous, on the Syrian coast reports Global Arab Network according to Syrian sources.

The statue is broken into three 118-centimeters-long, 242- centimetres-high pieces of the solid, white limestone.

''The first piece of the statue represents part of the face with part of the bosom, and the second complements the first, whereas the third part represents the lower part of the body with the legs at a standing position. The sun disc is in the left hand'', Head of Tartous Archaeology Department Marwan Hassan told Syrian media.

He believes the statue embodies God Melkart, (God of the Village), dating back to the Syrian civilization in the 4th century B.C. which controlled the Mediterranean coast, due to its economic and trade richness.

He added that significant archaeological indications were also found in the nearby era.

The statute is to be carried to Tartous Museum to be documented.
