[ WP ] Floating in space there is a monolithic statue of a human , this statue is older than our sun .

I, and the other scientists, just looked at the thing. It was n't too big. About as tall as your average microwave, and about as thick as a remote, it did n't look like anything special. There were no clothes on the statue, it was just a model of a naked man in a pose with one arm pointing up and the other pointing downwards. And yet we had figured out how to get a probe to bring it back unharmed. 
 
 
 There were chips here and there taken out from the particles in space, but it was most certainly a human. Probably a man but we were n't certain as to the sex. `` So what is it made of?'' 
 
 
 `` It appears to be Iron'' one of the scientists replied. 
 
 
 `` and we are sure it is n't just space junk or something?'' 
 
 
 `` Well for one thing as far out as we found it it would have had to have been launched in the late 1930s so we are pretty sure that is n't it, and secondly there is no way they made it in the thirties.'' 
 
 
 `` How are we sure it was n't made back then?'' 
 
 
 `` It is made too perfectly. If i did n't know better I'd say it had been made by a machine of some sort.'' 
 
 
 We had ran a battery of tests. It was okay to touch, but no one wanted to. I decided to anyway. I noticed that there were markings on the bottom. Letters even though i did not recognize them. `` Do we know what these letters mean?'' 
 
 
 `` That would be too easy. It appears to be some ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, but it is slightly off what we know. Translating it will take time.'' 
 
 
 `` So what will we call this thing?'' I said as I put it down and back away to stand with my peers. 
 
 
 `` Weird pose, statuesque physicality, I'm thinking Adam.''
