"The beauty of artifacts is in how they reassure us we're not the first to die." - Simon Van Booy

I feel The Epic of Gilgamesh also created the concept of "cliffhanger".

Guy: "Oh man. It looks like we ran out of materials to make this Skhul Jewelry."
Partner next to him, slowly turning towards him: "...Oh, I wouldn't say that..."

Drew me in with the thumbnail I thought it was a preserved cooked chicken

[DJGamingSmash]

Damn, I knew all these because I actually paid attention in high school history.

I literally thought that Venus thing was either a turkey or a chicken!!!

[wondersofu]

As an archeologist, I can confirm these are real artifacts.

[MarquisDeSacks]

The wealth of knowledge and culture that modern civilization has inherited from Babylon is so rich and variegated, it hardly seems fair how much that ancient land has been impugned by the western Judeo-Christian tradition. More people need to know about Mesopotamia! The ancient world wasn't just Egypt, Greece, and Rome!

Best part about all these artifacts and their stories....they could all have been used for something completely different than what they think they are and may or may not be as old as they think..

Top Ten Hardest to Find Artifacts on Earth

[marcogoluke]

I can not say how thrilled I am, that you included the Venus of Hohle Fels. It was found in a cave, where I live and I even was in charge of her for quite some time, when I was working for that city.

[myrmidon]

Its funny because we live in a point of history where we have to specify that artifact are actually REAL, and not from a cinematic universe based on some '60 comics

[DerrickNeff]

Damn those bones flutes were badass 🤘🏻

[kathyelliott]

"Half of these are mine!"

[lisah]

Venus of Hohle Fels looks like a dried up roast chicken... Just me? Lol

[vancecoombs]

Those tools at #3… kind of just look like rocks…

One of the he oldest artifacts were found in Germany like a flute and a spear in the ''Schwäbische Alb'' in South of Germany and maybe the oldest traces of wheels in the near of Kiel
Human culture seems to be established in Mid Europe...not Africa
