Показать описание
The relic is an auroch horn which is thought to be around 5,000 years old and was discovered by two brothers off the coast of Sudbrook, Monmouthshire who work as fishermen. Aurochs populated Britain in the Neolithic period and are thought to have gone extinct on British shores around 3,500 years ago. Aurochs were a species of large wild cattle that inhabited Asia, Europe, and North Africa and are the ancestor of domestic cattle. They were much bigger than modern cows, standing up to 6ft inch (two metres) tall at the shoulder.

That horn can be about 12, 000 to 8, 000 years old. These Auroch are pictured on the walls of Lascaux, which are 14, 000 years old.

Last aurochs died in Poland in 1627. Possibly this isnt not thousands of years old, but one never knows. Well spotted!

They became extinct in the mid 1600s so doubt its 6000 years old but still a nice find.
