The Oldest Human-Built Structure in the World

#shorts In 2019, UK researchers discovered two ancient wooden pieces at Zambia's Kalambo Falls, estimated to be nearly half a million years old, potentially the oldest human-built structure. Preserved by high water levels, these pieces, possibly used as a platform for daily chores, predate the Homo sapiens species. What does this signify for the origins of our species?

Or it could just be two old pieces of wood.

Scientific imagination is an amazing thing, i remember when they found some cutting marks on reindeer antlers in Siberia. Said they were the earliest wrinting, but then locals showed them modern ones, were knaw marks from mice an rodents. The mind is a terrible thing to misuse.

As soon as I saw it.
That's a chair.

Wood can NOT last half a million years without rotting away!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

If you tell "Ancient Aliens" about this, they'll say they were trained by aliens from Zeta Reticculi. 😂

Respectfully i’ve seen refrigerator art more impressive… from a child that was blind, deaf, and mute just saying.

500, 000 years old? My brother said the Earth is not 6, 000 years old. LOL

Maybe it's just old wood hahaha a seat right

Birds can build some impressive nests as well. Just saying that we are hardly first venturing into architecture.

[shaakirzwrath]

I see pieces like that every day outside

What if I take old wood fossils and build a macbook? Does that mean that the cavemans were watching porn?

It was not 500.000 years ago. Did they performed C14? No, they assumed that it was too old and never did C14. Do scientist performe C14 for diamonds? No, but some do. They found measurable amount of C14 in diamonds.

The Annunaki arrival was over 450, 000 years ago. So why is it so strange? Also they found bone bracelets with drill holes made by Neanderthals, so doesn’t surprise me. Not everyone was stupid before us

Old log cabins in Spain dated 800, 000 years recently found.

I am Zambian...and this is the first time am hearing of this😂😂

Current science is always so accurate. Yesterday's science is typically wrong and out of date. No humility
