Even older

A month ago more parts of the lion-human figure were found. Archaeologists now say the figure is 35,000 to 40,000 years old! http://www.swr.de/swr4/bw/regional/schwaben/-/id=259568/nid=259568/did=7920218/1tp2tvh/index.html (in German) 178.201.23.62 (talk) 23:55, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"This article has been rated as LOW-IMPORTANCE on the project's" Yeah we got bigger priorities like Britney Spears.72.201.19.165 (talk) 07:30, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

presence deity

This looked like a typo to me, but if "presence deity" actually means something, maybe someone can explain it more clearly. Peboki (talk) 17:57, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Other Palaeolithic hybrids

I note the article has the following text: "The sculpture shares certain similarities with French cave wall paintings, which also show hybrid creatures." - can anyone provide references for this?

Narashima

I don't get why the Indian deity N. is listed under "see also". There's no connection other than the lion head. There are other human-lion hybrids in art/religion/myth/stories around the world. If this is really interesting to anyone, perhaps there should be an article that lists all those human-lion figures and that links to the Hohlenstein lion-man, Narashima, Sekhmet, and the others.Big Bene (talk) 08:18, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The idol is related to narsimha according to Isckon. Anubhav Gangwar (talk) 09:23, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The oldest known European God

Shamans do not pretend they are shamans. Shamans do not pretend they are humans wearing an animal mask. The mask is part of what they are. This head depicts a Lion-god and not a Lion-man!

If you want to change the article or the name, you must find reliable sources - academic ones- that user your preferred name and demonstrate that the usage you prefer is more common, see WP:COMMONAME. Doug Weller talk 12:42, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that this is a representation of a medicine man/woman

I do not read any discussion about this hypothesis. Cheers Renebach (talk) 17:08, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

One of many theories. Johnbod (talk) 18:32, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
