Oldest mask found error[change source]

"The oldest mask found is the Mask of Warka. It is about five thousand years old."

This is far from the truth. The oldest masks found are
- Death mask, which dates from Pre-Pottery Neolithic period, 7000 BC (9000 years old) and is kept in Paris, Musée Bible et Terre Sainte
- Hirbat Duma Mask, which dates from Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period, 7000 BC (9000 years old) and is kept in Israel Museum, Jerusalem

There are three more masks that are 9000 years old (dating to Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period), also kept in Israel Museum, Jerusalem, which were found in Nahal Hemar cave.
