Secret Centuries-Old Document Discovered Inside Buttocks of Jesus Statue
During restorations of an 18th century wooden statue of Jesus Christ, Spanish workers discovered a peculiar note that appears to be a makeshift time capsule. The most surprising and bizarre thing about this unexpected discovery is that the note was found in the buttocks of the statue.
Archaeologists Haven’t Confirmed the Discovery Yet
According to the statue's restorers, the note dates back to 1777 and is signed by Joaquin Minguez, a chaplain of the cathedral of Burgo de Osma at the time. It’s interesting, however, that historians and archaeologists haven’t confirmed the legitimacy of the find yet, despite the restoration company that made the discovery triumphantly announcing the origins and contents of the note.
