Holy cow!

These statues are evidence that the people of the region worshiped oxen and humped cows 3000 years ago.

The article in includes a picture of the statue, and I can't see how this stands as evidence that they humped cows 3000 years ago!

That's one of the joys of the English language. Other languages avoid this by having a number of possible suffixes attached to a word that indicate its grammatical role in the sentence. Latin is like that - consequently, word order is less important and you can rearrange words to make a sentence have a nicer rhythm.
