The "Jockey of Artemision," a life-size bronze Greek statue of a boy riding a horse dating to around 140 BCE. It's rare to find bronze statues so large -- most of them were melted down at some point because of the value of the metal. This one survived because it sank in a shipwreck, only to be discovered in the 1920s.

On the left, Bronze Dragon! It's a metallic dragon, so adults are roughly in the 20-80 foot (6-24 m) range, and can shapeshift. Love the beach and swimming, barter for treasure instead of plundering, and are always up for a challenge. Even have Fus-Ro-Dah breath, if getting thrown 60 feet piques your interest!
On the right, the nightmare! It gives you fire resistance, travels dimensions, and knows three languages. Smart as the average person, but it's badass hell horse!

To make sure they stabbed the right people, ancient Britons formed primitive gangs, called tribes, and like many gangs they got into graffiti - vandalizing the countryside with gigantic doodles. Like this badly drawn horse. Or this decorative pervert.
Before Snapchat, hills were the most efficient way to distribute dick pics to a wide audience. As a result, Cerne Abbas became the second rudest hill in British history - after Benny.”
