The inner handle underwent the carbonization process, the hammerhead was constructed with iron purity, and this is only possible with modern-day technology, according to research by the Metallurgical Institute of Columbia.
According to analysis, the head of the hammer consists of 97 pure iron, 2 percent chlorine, and 1 percent sulfur.

Something's wrong with this "analysis". "Pure iron" is very low strength, and chlorine and Sulphur are impurities that would weaken it even more. High strength steels generally contain around a half percent carbon, or more, and virtually no Sulphur or chlorine. At the content listed, the striking head of the hammer would be pounded out like a mushroom.
Great book!

Metallurgical Institute of Columbia would not be in Bogota. Bogota is in Colombia.
The whole setup is definitely not ‘fossilized’ inside that stone. It doesn’t fit into a stone it is supposed to be part of really well, the wooden handle is certainly not fossilized at all and the hummer itself has quite a recent signs of corrosion. It is not even a century old.
If it’s a Craftsman it’s still under warranty.
This story has been around for quite a while since the discovery in 1934.
So, that’s where I lost it. Proof I’m older than dirt.
“This was discovered in 1934 and the technology apparently didn’t exist then to create that metal.”
We most certainly did in 1934.
At least post an up to date article. This one has been circling around for years.
You find him a talkin dog, and get a hotel room and he'll prove it!
It is from Archaeology magazine. Check the source, before making nasty, irrelevant comments.
There is no record of man’s existence past 6000 years ago. Written history is no older than 5000 years.
Unless dinosaurs can make hammers, I don’t think this is real - I think it is a fake.
Real or fake, anomalous many objects have been found - one going back to the Randian Era of the Precambrian 2.8 billion years ago.
Something was going on back then, but that was all lost evidently with the North American comet strike 10,800 years ago that left the human race in amnesia so violet was the strike.
The joke is on whoever dated the concretion around the hammer at 400 million years. How embarrassing.
“...debate among supporters of the ancient astronaut theory and conventional archaeologists, who both have provided arguments explaining the origin and age of the hammer.”
Unfortunately, there was no room left in the article to elucidate the arguments of the “conventional” archaeologists, with all the space given to dwell on the implausible alternatives.
None of this stuff re "Might be zillions of years ago!" is for real. It is pure BS for attention and grant money.
Why doesn’t someone carbon-date the hammer’s handle?
There are some types of rock that are soft enough to cut with a knife when first uncovered, but they then harden the longer they’re exposed. I’ve heard of “sword in the stone” tricks done with those kinds of rock. Maybe this was the same thing?
