Giant head is found in New York's famous river

While it is normal for things to appear floating in river waters, especially those crossing large urban centers, finding a head over two meters high is not something that happens every day. Also, where did the enormous sculpture of the image that opens this story, discovered in the Hudson River in New York, look more like a work from Greece or ancient Rome?

According to the Newsday website, it was the rowing team of Marist College, New York, during a sunrise training session that discovered the bollard. The fact that the artifact is made of Styrofoam-filled fiberglass rules out the possibility that this is an intriguing archaeological discovery. However, the origin of the object remains unknown.

The lower half of the Hudson River is an estuary, so it is influenced by tides. This means that such a head - which by its proportion may have belonged to a statue with a body size between 9 and 12 meters - may have come from both the interior of the state and from the Atlantic. In other words, the bollard may have come from anywhere.
