Discovering another human's 300,000-year-old weapon workshop in Germany

The number of weapons found in Germany shows the shocking technological level of another human species at a time when Homo sapiens was just "toddling" into existence.

According to Heritage Daily, a special arsenal was found in Schöningen, a small town located in the state of Lower Saxony - Germany, used mainly by ancient human species present before humans were present on earth.

Wooden weapons were crafted with "unbelievable" skill by more ancient Homo sapiens.

The article published in the journal PNAS said the artifacts revealed sophisticated woodworking techniques used by prehistoric people for hunting and animal skin processing.

It was a completely shocking discovery because the age of this arsenal was up to 300,000 years, coinciding with the time when our species Homo sapiens first appeared on earth.

Neanderthals and other ancient humans may have known how to manipulate wood long before "smart humans" - (Graphic image).

Thus, since before our species - often called "smart humans" - existed, the human world has developed much further than we previously imagined.

The armory was studied in detail by archaeologists from the Lower Saxony State Office for Cultural Heritage (NLD), the University of Göttingen (Germany) and the University of Reading (UK).

Special weapons 20 spears and javelins were used by Neanderthals and other hominins of the same period. At that time, Homo sapiens had just been born and was still in Africa, so clearly our ancestors could not have contributed to this technology.

Dr. Dirk Leder from NLD said that ancient humans in the area collected spruce and pine wood extensively, selected beautiful trees to make spears and throwing sticks, and then brought them to this location to craft.

This ancient "factory" is also a place to repair damaged tools.

The owner of this armory and furniture manufacturing and repair workshop has not been specifically analyzed, but this area is where the footprints of other ancient Neanderthals and some other species have been identified. genus Homo (Human) with Homo sapiens.

Among ancient humans, Neanderthals are most famous for their "timeless" skills in making tools, weapons, and jewelry. They are also the only species with a brain larger than our modern humans, although more limited in function.
