For this episode, I interviewed Chris Boylan, an expert on Oceanic Art. He explained a little bit of history about The Laiagam Stone, an incredible carved piece created thousands of years ago by the people of Papua New Guinea. The Laiagam Stone is often compared to the Ambum Stone as both are roughly the same size with similar features and they are likely around the same age. Chris Boylan explained what we know of the history of both stones including how dropping and breaking the Ambum Stone lead to an accidental discovery that allowed scientists to date the stone as being at least 3500 years old.
