A BOTTLE containing a mystery liquid dating back to the time of
Jesus Christ has been hailed as a “unique” discovery after being
unearthed in Russia. 

The 2,000-year-old artefact was uncovered on the site of the Phanagoria city, which was founded in the 6th century BC.

The ancient city was the largest Greek settlement on the Taman peninsula in the present-day Krasnodar Krai region of Russia.

The extraordinary object was discovered in the grave of a warrior in the Eastern Necropolis of the city.

It is filled with a mystery liquid which has not been identified.

Vladimir Kuznetsov, head of the expedition, described the discovery as “unique”.

He
said: “The discovery of the large glass filled with unknown liquid in
the sarcophagus of the Phanagorian horseman warrior is unique.”

The
discovery is the first of its kind, with Mr Kuznetsov revealing that
bottles previously found have been empty or full of soil.

He said: ”There are hundreds of similar bottles that were found in Phanagoria before that did not have the liquid.

“They were either empty or filled with soil.”

The large glass bottle contains a clear liquid with dark sediment at the bottom.

The discovery is the first time the expedition team have found liquid to have survived for that length of time.

Mr Kuznetsov said: “This is the first time me or my colleagues are seeing a liquid surviving that long.”

For what it’s worth, 2018 has been a really terrible year for the world,
but it’s been a really great year for archeologists digging up and
opening things that will unleash unspeakable eldritch horrors upon
humanity.
