We have 30k year old statues?

This is news to me, do you have a reference you can share?

Might be referring to the Venus of Willendorf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_of_Willendorf
there's more but it's interesting that multiple people replied here with the same piece (Willendorf):

A random example [1] - 25-29k BCE, so overall it potentially crosses 30k threshold

I guess this might be what he's referring to; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_of_Willendorf
