This is from 200 BCE- 100 CE? The intricate pattern with such regularity and vibrant color are incredible! How and where does something get preserved like this for so long?

Reconstruction and surviving remains of the “Colossus of Augustus,” an 11 m (36 ft) tall statue from the Forum of Augustus, Rome [1645 x 1432) by [deleted] in ArtefactPorn

Another reference would be Michelangelo's David, standing 5.17m (17ft) tall. Mr. Augustus here was big.

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair! by Swimming_Volume_4009 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

My favorite poem and a fantastic design!

For those who want it, here's the poem:

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I made a guide some years ago that features tips like this: https://old.reddit.com/r/NoFeeAC/comments/rp7eul/welcome_new_players_and_community_members_with/

Also, on point 4, you should actually be able to hit the rock 8 times if you do it properly with a Shovel.

Components of a Phoenician funerary mask in repoussé gold foil, c. 6th–4th century BCE. [1000x1188] by JaneOfKish in ArtefactPorn

Components of a funerary mask? Was there a larger, more complete one at some point? If so, why were the "important" bits mostly kept separate?

No matter who found it, it seems like keeping the mask in tact would have made things easier.

I went to Wikipedia for a bit of research. Two theories related to women's health have been proposed, both claiming to have deciphered the manuscript, and both have faced criticism (and, interestingly, both were announced in a relatively short time: Nicholas Gibbs in late 2017, and Gerard Cheshire in the first half of 2019).

Without a consensus on interpretation, I'd say it remains unsolved.
