A Siberian man looking for fish accidentally found a god.
Nikolay Tarasov, 53, netted the extraordinary 4,000-year-old figurine while fishing in his hometown of Tisul, in Russia’s Kemerovo region.
The small object got tangled in his net and Tarasov was getting ready to chuck it back into the river when he glanced down to take another look.
That’s when he saw a face staring back up at him.
“I stopped and washed the thing in the river and realized it wasn't a stone of an unusual shape, as I thought earlier, but a statuette,” the man told the Siberian Times.

Your pagan god is better, Cal. The Russian one looks like Mr Hanky from South Park.
