Top 10 OLDEST Known OBJECTS Made by Man and his Ancestors

Whenever something incredibly ancient and incredibly cool turns up, there’s always someone on hand to shout that it’s evidence of aliens. Awesome as it would be to know ET was hanging out here in 10,000 B.C. (or whenever), the truth is both much simpler and much more interesting. See, you don’t need aliens to explain away intricate ancient objects. We humans have been capable of creating incredible stuff since before there were even humans.

Ancient phallus' did not even enter my mind when you showed those objects... I was thinking boomerang of some sort or a club... obvious where your mind is at!

Took me way too long to realise who he meant when he said Two tank-a-moon. Never heard anyone pronounce it like that before

1:15 ... I'm sorry, I didn't even almost see a sex toy or phallus lol. I thought it looked like the top of a crutch or something to tie a rope to lol

The Venus of Hohle Fels was probably more a fertility goddess symbol than 'erotica'.

[ssgyates]

I love how they show the cave paintings and they always forget to mention that the man that discovered them destroyed the ones he didn't want anyone to see. What those were? We will never know.

[debbiekerr]

Wow this video was amazing! I very much enjoyed watching it. I didn't know about most of the cool finds you mentioned. Thank you for sharing this.

Neanderthals were human. They just weren't homo sapien human.
