ANCIENT Human Wooden Structure Discovered in Africa: Kalambo Falls Zambia #historicaltidbits

Archaeologists discovered a Pleistocene epoch, stone age structure buried beneath a riverbed at Kalambo Falls in Zambia on the continent of Africa. Luminescence dating produced a staggering age of 476,000 years old. In total, five wood pieces were discovered, all more than 300,000 years old. In addition, stone tools were located near the oldest find, the two interlocking logs. The riverbed, because it never dried, actually preserved these wood pieces, which in most cases would have decayed away. This is now the oldest woodwork on the continent of Africa and the oldest human structure ever found. Because of the date of this find, it's unlikely modern humans made this structure, because modern humans aren't thought to have emerged until roughly 300,000 years ago in Northern Africa. So it was likely constructed by archaic humans, proving that Pleistocene era hominins were capable of greater engineering feats than is commonly believed. They figured out how to use the materials that surrounded them and this is among some of the earliest evidence now proving that they had a sense of culture. The logs had clear cut grooves/notches allowing the two pieces of wood to snuggle together like 'Lincoln logs'.

Not suprising to me at all! We have most likely existed for millions & millions of years, we just aren't technologically smart enough to figure that out yet! OR WE ARE AND WE DO KNOW, BUT NOBODY WANTS TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE 🤫👍👍😊
