Uncovering Ancient Engineering Skills in Cavity 59k Archaeologists have discovered evidence suggesting that Neanderthals may have drilled out a cavity roughly 59,000 years ago.
This remarkable feat indicates an impressive level of technical sophistication among our ancient cousins, challenging current understanding of their engineering capabilities.
The Cavity in Question: A 59,000 Year Old Wonder Located in a limestone quarry in modern day Germany, the excavation site features a well preserved stone artifact with intricately drilled holes.
