Find Out What History Museum Told Man Who Spotted The ‘Face of God’ In Slab Of Marble

Charlie Deeb, 55, was given the precious piece of onyx by
his father Michel who discovered the rare find at his stone factory in 1970. He
put the slab, which measures 45cm by 23cm and is 2cm thick, in storage in a
vault in Switzerland, and thought no more about it.

But last year he travelled to the country to inspect the
slab, which weighs 15kg, and was shocked to see the ‘face of God’ embedded into
the rock.

Charlie, from Chesterfield, Derbyshire said: “My dad
displayed this piece in a locked glass cabinet in his factory show room until
1975 when the Lebanese civil war broke out.

“He then stored it in our house in Beirut all through
the 19 years of civil war. I never really thought too much about it until I
inspected it more closely and saw what appeared to be the face of God inside
the rock,” he said.

Chalrie, who is not married and has no children, wrote a
letter to the Natural History Museum in London telling them about his
discovery, but then they wrote him back and said it is an ‘accidental quirk of nature’.
