To Date, Only Three Archaeologically Provenanced Neolithic Masks Known
The Media Line, 2018.11.29 – Although there are presently 15 Neolithic stone masks across the globe known to researchers, there are only 2 others whose archaeological context is verified. Ronit Lupu, of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) Antiquities Theft Prevention Unit, told The Media Line. “All of these [3] stone masks are connected to the same area: the Judean Mountains, the Judean Desert and thereabouts.”
This unit recently tracked-down and recovered the third, extremely rare, 9,000-year-old stone provenanced pinkish-yellow limestone mask.
What were ancient masks used for?

Canaanite Neolithic mask (IAA)
Anyone who has worn a mask for PūrꞋim realizes that the idea of a mask is to “put on” the semblance of whatever character the mask is supposed to represent.

On the other hand, the audience in ancient times, clearly believed the tribal leader or shaman priest, by donning the mask, became transformed into an Angel-Spokesman of the spirit/god represented by the mask, thereby actualizing the communication of the Word of their god.

Even academics exhibit a mysterious unquestioning UNNIopia01 when confronted by familiar information enveloped in traditional interpretation. Reading Shᵊm•ōtꞋ 34.4, even religious and Biblical academics universally assume a “Golden Calf” statue idol.
