Historians found something unpredictable in the statue of Jesus Christ (Video)

Spanish historians found what seems to be an improvised time resume.

The statue portrayed Jesus Christ's image while hanging at the church of St. Águeda, northern Spain.

Gemma Ramirez is a keeper of the Madrid-based archive items Da Vinci Restauro, which has worked to preserve the statue. When they set up the statue on a desk, Ramirez recalls that they had noticed that something was inside, reports “Nationalgeographic.com” Transmission Periscope.

When they removed a portion of the statue carved in the form of a fabric, Ramirez and her colleague discovered a document describing the life of 18th - century Spain.

Two handwritten letters were inside. The documents date back to 1777 and were signed by Joaquín Minguez, a hat from the Burgo de Osma cathedral.

In his letters, Mínguez presents a glimpse of the region's daily economic and cultural activity.

The hat first points out that the statue was created by a man named Manuel Bal, who created other wooden similarities to churches in the region. It next describes the successful harvest of various cereals, such as wheat, rye, oats, barley, and wine shops.

Moinguez also appoints diseases as typhoid fevers that have affected the village during that period of time.

Outside the village's life, Minguese details Spain's political climate. He writes that King Carlos III is on the throne and that the Spanish court is in Madrid. The letter even contains a mention of the deadly Spanish Inquisition, which lasted from 1478 to 1834.

The general and broad nature of the Moinguese letters meant that they would likely be a kind of time resume for future generations, historian Ephren Arroyo told the Spanish newspaper “El Mundo” Arroyo added that it is unusual to find hidden objects inside church statues.

It is one of the most surprising discoveries made by the restoration group, they say. The Madrid-based team has previously worked on restoring ancient old paintings, statues and furniture.

The letters found were sent to the Archbishop of Burgo, where they will be stored.
