Kind of silly how the headline says "buddhist statue" when the article says it was "pre-buddhist", but still interesting for the archaeology and pulp fiction nerds among us.

Yeah, interesting, though I first say this at theregister.co.uk and their headline was rather more misleading, "Tibetan STATUE found by 1930s NAZI expedition is of ALIEN ORIGIN" :hmm:

They have top monks working on it now. Top. Monks.
