Ananova reports that Austrian art historian Eduard Mahlknecht has discovered a Hidden Mickey in a 700-year old fresco of St. Christopher on the island of Malta.

While the scholar believes it's a coincidence and that the image "is most likely to be a drawing of a beaver or a weasel," Siggi Neuschitzer, manager of the Malta Tourism Association, said, "Our Mickey Mouse is 700 years older than Disney's and we will get it legally examined."
