They were able to verify the age because it was stamped 3500 BC on the bottom.

In a related story, artifacts from the period and identified as gay sex aids belonging to Bjørk Øbama were discovered adjacent to the axe.

You think it’s old growth?

She looks pretty old to me, but Laz would still hit her.
To: untwist

Good thing it wasn’t found in the UK. I think edged weapons are banned there.

Not too far from the truth, they probably used dendrochronology as one of the dating techniques.

Some kids dad lost his axe and wondered what happen to it. He looked at his sons and they said “I dunno what happen to that axe....”
