You should contact the nearest museum on your findings.

You should also be careful about handling the artifact.

I read some comments about selling it outside the country. That may be difficult as you still need an Export Permit which you are likely not to get.

I pray let them be Chukwu Okike Abiama equipments to destroy Nigeria and British terrorist in our Biafraland.

The Biafran ancient weapons are resurrecting to combating Fulani terrorist government of operation Python dance in Biafraland.

I just hope you don't awaken a sleeping demon that'll unleash mayhem on your community

Looks like Nok sculpturessculptures to me.

OP,
You have struck gold. Contact National Geographic. They will take it from there. The money you will get from this finding will change your life forever.

qualityGod:
take me to the location I can pay you 500k-1million

Haba those are peanuts compared to if these are confirmed to be igbo ukwu artifacts

Those are extremely rare and expensive and it was believed the ancient igbo ukwu trobe buried their most precious artifacts in unknown locations to hide them from the white men.. he may have stumbled upon one of such under ground locations

This guy is about to become a billionaire of he is smart

Possible historical artifects ...of a lost civilisation

it is ojukwu bucket.short and simple.

shadeyinka:

Can you please contact

Department of Archaeology,
University of Ibadan.


You may have stumbled on the earliest settlement of the Ibo race.

Are those terracotta or bronze artifacts?

I'd say terracotta from the look of it. Nok culture comes to mind.

An archeologist is on his way

you make collapse with laughter.amaa,kar chi uwarka

Good, civilization starts in Nigeria.
The first man to leave on earth is from Anambra state.
This artifact is several millions year older than EGYPT

Who have an idea what it is, we ask some elders at my side they said they don't know. we dig it out when digging a pit. Any idea?

PLS FLASH ME NOW AND DELETE THIS THREAD!

It could be be. But it also shows colours you would expect from bronze artifacts.

I hope dating results will show it to be older than even the Nok culture. That would be exciting especially if it is metallic

zz

My grandfather would know but he is dead




BTW lemme dig my compound its vry ancestral

justiniyke29:
those are signs of ancient civilization, video it and upload to CNN or BBC, they would buy it very well. alternatively u can sell them on eBay. please move them to a secure location and avoid telling people around u

they should better hide that tin from igbo people,because their eyes sabi shine like thief man torch.

Na to kum kidnapp u since u nor get sence

It's some metal cast from the olden days Civilization

These are some artifacts, evidence of ancient civilization at the location you found it. My advise is go to UNN Anthropology department and ask for Prof PJ Ezeh. He is a renowned anthropologist who can give you some answers. He could also have contacts of archaeologists who can carryout further excavations and studies at the site.

.

Looks like a staff and some artifacts belonging to both royalties and priesthood. What material are they made of? Carbon dating can help tell the age and then give a clue as to what those things symbolise. Involve some scholars or university professors at the department of archeology. They can help but my one Kobo word for you is to guide what you have jealously.

HI CAN WE TALK?

You have no idea how valuable those things are. If it were to be in an advance country they will dig to find more. You can eventually find treasury worth of millions, continue digging out.

Ever heard of dark magic, voodoo n African family curse?
Well you just dug up one. Prepare yourself for the after-effects of digging up Pandora herself!

smatt1711:

will that be true ?




More .....

stop digging. The more you dig the more you damage the original set up or even damage the artifacts themselves. Let the experts take over the site and do a professional work. Only then can a full restoration be done and the findings be worthwhile

I have been trying to reach out to the slowpoke and he doesn't want to respond. this is how they end up wasting their opportunity.


if carbon dating proves these artifact are up to 500 years old the fool will be playing with at least some very good thousands of dollars excluding total purchase of that entire area and settling every one involved.

OP see i've been digging my backward since I saw this post early momo.
Only found nylon bags, used condoms, threads, manure.
I don dig sotey I don dey see white sand yet No Artifacts.
Not fair o

Where exactly in Anambra

Gulher:
I don't understand the hyping of these things

It's either you are a child or very naive

Do you understand how much foreign museums pay for igbo ukwu artifacts ? That I'd the post tribe of ibo people

Documents shoe that very little is known of this tribe because they created several hidden caves to hide their artifacts when the white men first landed in that area

For decades people have been searching for the locations of those caves

This man will be rich if he is smart and the location of this find maybe one of those hidden caves
