With his dashing chiselled features, swept back hair and perky bouffant the resemblance is unmistakable.
But incredibly this carving of Elvis Presley was created around 1800 years before the King of Rock and Roll first warbled his first note.
The amazing likeness has come to light as part of a sale of ancient antiques by the auction house Bonhams.

And so it was written in those days that the coming of the King was foretold and he would be dressed all in white and be adorned with the stars from the heavens...

Historians had in fact speculated that the fall of the Roman Empire was in fact due to an unhealthy diet of deep fried, peanut butter and ‘naner sandwiches!!

I used to work with
