John meticulously documented his discovery, eager to uncover the other objects buried nearby. He took photographs, measured the statue carefully, and recorded every detail. This find alone would cause a sensation in the archaeology community, but there was so much more to uncover.
John hurried to unearth the second object and experienced déjà vu. The facial features of the second statue bore a striking resemblance to the first. Another head and body emerged from the ground, but he couldn’t identify the material yet.
He felt drawn to the statues. They seemed so lifelike, as if they almost had a pulse or some tangible energy. John felt it in his entire body. It could be mere excitement, but he knew he had to keep digging.
Time slipped away, but it didn’t matter anymore. John was engrossed in the excavation until his hands blistered from the work. He now noticed that the statues were arranged in a circle. Three of them faced a statue with its back turned to them.
