So the eyes of the statue looks like the man to the right, performing a magical facial expression.Katharóshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16649693310029639154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-45515771761805414182012-07-17T21:19:17.898+03:002012-07-17T21:19:17.898+03:00@Dienekes,

East Asian eyes usually bulge slightly, often beyond the plane of the face - that is certainly not the case here.pconroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312469574812832771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-42186255331048770782012-07-17T21:01:39.023+03:002012-07-17T21:01:39.023+03:00The statue is clearly Mongoloid as evidenced by th...The statue is clearly Mongoloid as evidenced by the facial flatness and shallow-set eyes.Dienekeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082684850093948970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-40784260777881792602012-07-17T20:47:26.589+03:002012-07-17T20:47:26.589+03:00That bro looks like a Native American or a Europea...That bro looks like a Native American or a European.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-5767429087203529712012-07-17T19:52:18.862+03:002012-07-17T19:52:18.862+03:00The statue has:
