Artifacts Unearthed in East Texas…
Three artifacts, carved stone heads, unearthed in the 1920's - 1930's are quietly housed in a museum in East Texas, unbeknownst to many. The first stone head, found by a quarry worker in 1929 at a depth of 19' is thought by some to be 15,000-20,000 years old. Others believe it was carved by inhabitants of the area 3,000 - 5,000 years ago. Some believe the carved stone head was created by the quarry worker who found it in the 1920's and is nothing more than a modern day fabrication. This find attracted the archaeological department of the University of Texas who conducted a study of the area, unearthing an additional stone head. A third stone head was also found in the area by a private individual who donated it to the museum where it is housed with the others. An in depth presentation of all sides and theories was needed, and the result is this documentary film. If authentic and if the fossils amongst which the heads were found are an indication of the heads' ages. it suggests that modern man was in east Texas prior to currently held beliefs.
