Imagine being transported back in time, 300,000 years ago. In the small town of Schningen, archaeologists made an incredible discovery in an opencast mine - four wooden spears. These spears are not just any ordinary artifacts, they are the oldest human-made wooden artifacts ever found on Earth! Not only that, but they are also the oldest weapons discovered. Three of these spears were designed as projectile weapons, with a tapered point at the front, similar to a modern javelin. The fourth spear, however, had points at both ends, suggesting it was used as a thrusting spear or a throwing stick. Alongside these remarkable spears, the remains of 20 wild horses were also found, with evidence of butchery. This confirms that early humans were skilled hunters with specialized tool kits. Explore the ancient world through these ancient artifacts and uncover the secrets of early human life. [Source](Bamford & Henderson 2003, Klein. 2005. p114)
