Few archeological finds in the Middle East match these for mystery. These figurines dating back 7,000 years appear to have reptilian features. Many of the objects, were found at various sites across what is now Iraq. Each figurine has a different pose but the strangest of all is that some female figurines hold babies suckling milk, with the child also represented as a lizard-type creature. The figurines are presented with long heads, almond shaped eyes, long tapered faces and a lizard-type nose. What exactly they represent is completely unknown.
