Recently, an oldest idol of Lord Shiva has found and researchers are claiming it’s older than more than 26,000 years. Pictures of this divine idol are surfacing online and it has been said that it was given a Tibetan monk to a CIA officer.

It was during the 1960s, when a wooden box was handed over to the officials of the CIA by a Tibetan monk at Lo Monthang, to keep it safe from the Chinese forces.

The officer took this responsibility and wrote down all the details about this. After that, officials then sent the box to India through an aircraft. It was later transported to Camp Hale. This idol is around 26,450 years old today and about 23,300 years older than the legendary Hindu Kurukshetra.

#Kalpavigraha oldest idol is of Shiva which is over 28,450 years old. Did not our ancestors know science metallurgy to keep to idol so intact sharp after eons. With radio carbon dating of the chest in which it was found to be 28,450 years old. Over civilization is not just 6000 years old it is eons old. ———- Booksfact A strange manuscript found inside and the unusually age-worn chest coupled with its noticeably unique design prompted them to conduct a radiocarbon test of the timber with which the chest was made. The results given to them by the University of California Radiation Laboratory, Berkeley astounded the CIA officials. The antiquity of the worn-out wooden chest and the idol was mind-boggling to say the least. It did not belong to this “yuga” or epoch on the Hindu time scale just as the monk had claimed. That is to say, it belonged to a period called the Dwapara yuga, making it the oldest human artifact in existence. Radiocarbon (C14) dating conducted by the University of California Radiation Laboratory on the heavy 9-inch thick timber sides and lid of the chest in which it was discovered arrived at readings that indicated a period around 26,450 BCE. That would make it over 28,450 years old today, and about 23,300 years older than the legendary Hindu Kurukshetra war described in Mahabharata. The idol was also tested by experts who concluded that it was the oldest Hindu idol in existence. None of the known ancient excavated civilizations of history – Egyptian, Mesopotamian or Indus Valley existed before 6000 years ago. https://www.booksfact.com/archeology/kalpa-vigraha-oldest-hindu-idol-of-lord-siva-26450-bc.html #kalpavigraha #Shiva #omnamahshivay

Coming to the CIA officer, he decided to examine the matter and he found a strange manuscript along with an ancient idol inside the box. The special box along with the Idol was sent to the University of California Radiation Laboratory, Berkeley for a radiocarbon test to determine its age and how it was crafted.

The results by the experts surprised everyone as it stated that the wooden box and the Idol belonged to the Dwapara Yuga. The readings indicated a period around 26,450 BCE i.e about  28,450 years old today and around 23,300 years old than the Mahabharata times. The experts also stated that the Idol was one of the oldest Hindu idols in existence.

Saber de una figura hecha por manos de un devoto hace 28.450 años AC, es prueba científica de que el Hinduismo es la religión más antigua de la humanidad, las religiones de los grandes imperios han surgido y caído como los Ejipcios, Mesopotamicos o Griegos pero el Hinduismo sigue presente en esta era contemporánea. Como es posible esto? Sencillo, el Hinduismo predica amor, entendimiento y respeto, no obliga ni castiga 🙏🏽🕉️ ========================================== #kalpavigraha #sculpture #murti #oldestreligion #carbondating #cienciayreligion #shiva #tandava #devoción #diosdelyoga #rudrakshamala #shivameditation #mantracaracas #yogacaracas #sanatandharma #hinduísmo #yogavenezuela #meditación #dharma #mantra #caracas #pazinterior #respirar #mahadev #harharmahadev #meditacion #bholebaba #shankar #mahakaal ========================================== This statue called Kalpa Vigraha is the oldest known sculpture in Hinduism and represents God Shiva, it is composed of a copper alloy, when conducting the carbon dating test, the result was 28,450 years old, it belongs to Dwapar Yuga, the era when Lord Krishna used to live on earth.

The Kalpa Vigraha was found in an 8-inch thick box with a manuscript written on wooden slats. The manuscript had the name of the Idol-  “kalpa maha-ayusham rasayana vigraha” which was then translated and shortened to “Kalpa Vigraha.”

The idol shows Lord Shiva kneeling or seated on one knee. The ancient divine Idol shows Lord Shiva with Snake as a crown on his head and is seen giving “Sudarsana Chakra” with his right hand to Lord Vishnu. It is estimated to be about 5.3 cm tall and about 4.7 cm wide, with an oval base 2.5 cm long and 1.7 cm wide and weighs around 47.10 gms.
