The Cycladic figurines appeared before my eyes, as creatures arriving from another cosmos. I felt that past and future were connected. Did they use a spaceship while visiting us? Are they still on planet Earth? The truth is that I do believe in parallel universes and I do love mysteries. No matter where they come from, no matter if ancient civilizations still have secrets,the Cycladic Mystery will always be there.
