In the 13th century a 7 year old schoolboy named Onfim doodled on his birch bark. He drew himself as a warrior & as “a wild beast” and scribbled a greeting to his friend Daniel.

These are his drawings, unearthed by archaeologists near Novgorod, Russia #history

@RoisinMac82 Love it 😊
Question, how did they know his age? I was thinking it must have been in some context, e.g. found in a 1st or 2nd grade classroom, but there couldn’t have been too many of those around in the 13th century…

@MichaelPorter The archeologists who found it come to that approx age, I’m assuming it must be from things/text found at the site.
