Found in Siberia, and apparently Dating back to the Denisovan species of early humans, scientists have confirmed this bracelet is 40,000 years old. making it the oldest piece of jewellery ever discovered.
The bracelet was discovered at a site now known as Denisova Cave, in the Altai region of Siberia in 2008. after detailed analysis, Russian experts now accept that the bracelet’s age is authentic.
Scientists explained it away, sorry, concluded, that it must have been made by our prehistoric human ancestors, the Denisovans, an extinct species of humans, and just showed them to have been far more advanced than ever realized.
However, further analysis, has left them in a bit of difficulty, with their conclusions as to who the makers could have been, a hole initially thought to have been caused by erosion, is actually a purposely placed drill hole, created by the maker of the bracelet, by using what can only be assumed, was a fine jeweller’s drill.
Writing in the Novosibirsk magazine, Science First Hand, Dr Derevyanko said: " two fragments of the bracelet were found, with a width of 2.7cm and a thickness of 0.9 cm. Near one of the cracks is a drilled hole with a diameter of about 0.8 cm."
"Studying the drill hole, reluctant scientists found that the speed of rotation of the drills bit would have been rather high, fluctuations minimal, and that it was applied with an advanced implement - technology that is common for more recent times", Dr. Derevyanko told the Siberian times.
Predictably, Since this feature was discovered, the Scientific communities forth coming explanations, have fallen silent.
