A 5,200 year old piece of pottery from Iran has been discovered to embody the oldest known animation in the world -- a wild goat eating vegetation:
The wild goat motif can be seen on Iranian pottery dating back to the 4th millennium BCE, as well as jewellery pieces especially among Cassite tribes of ancient Luristan. However, the oldest wild goat representation in Iran was discovered in Negaran Valley in Sardast region, 37 kilometers from Nahok village near Saravan back in 1999. The engraved painting of wild goat is part of an important collection of lithoglyphs dating back to 8000 BCE.
However, wild goat representation with a tree is associated with Murkum, a mother goddess who was worshipped by all the Indo-Iranian women of the Haramosh valley in modern Pakistan, which culturally had closer ties with Indus and subsequently the Burnt City civilisations, than Mesopotamia, which could had influenced the ancient potter who made this unique piece.
Federal authorities now say that this animated goat in Iran is reason enough to put Vynsane.com's The Goat under arrest and inprison him at an undisclosed location. Unfortunatly for The Goat, no activists will come to his aide. Animal Rights groups do not protect talking animals, and the ACLU does not cover farm animals.
Oh you ignorant, ignorant assholes. This is so obviously some ploy by those douche liberal democrats to get people to vote for them in the fall. I bet it's that bitch Hillary Clinton trying to get her name in the paper again. How convenient that the "animated" animal happens to be the democratic party's mascot. And they found it in Iran? Well, that's just proof that the democrats are in cahoots with Osama bin AlQuaeda and all those camel fuckers. Is that who you want running our country? Terrorists and their cum gargling spokeswhore? It makes me sick that there are enough assholes in this country dumb enough to put a vagina in the White House.
