Metallic aluminium was not produced by mankind until around 200 years ago - but this appears manufactured making the object a baffling find
A piece of aluminium that looks as if it was handmade is being hailed as 250,000-year-old proof that aliens once visited Earth.
Metallic aluminium was not really produced by mankind until around 200 years ago, so the discovery of the large chunk that could be up to 250,000 years old is being held as a sensational find.
The details of the discovery were never made public at the time because it was pulled out of the earth in communist Romania in 1973.
Builders working on the shores of the Mures River not far from the central Romanian town of Aiud found three objects 10 metres (33 feet) under the ground.
They appeared to be unusual and very old, and archaeologists were bought in who immediately identified two of them as being fossils.
The third looked to be a piece of man-made metal, although very light, and it was suspected that it might be the end of an axe.
All three were sent together with the others for further analysis to Cluj, the main city of the Romanian region of Transylvania.
It was quickly determined that the two large bones belonged to a large extinct mammal that died 10,000-80,000 years ago, but experts were stunned to find out that the third object was a piece of very lightweight metal, and appeared to have been manufactured.
According to tests, the object is made of 12 metals, 90% aluminium, and it was dated by Romanian officials as being 250,000 years old. The initial results were later confirmed by a lab in Lausanne, Switzerland.

That was proven to be a tooth from an mining extraction shovel.

Minie balls.
Same size as Paul Ryan’s.
Indeed, someone forgot Occam’s razor.
The options seem to be:
a) It’s not really 250,000 years old
b) At least one group of ancient humans DID figure out how to work aluminum
or
c) It’s extraterrestrial
Option “c” seems to be the least likely, but I guess it grabs the most headlines.
Part of an alien washing machine?
Its the gas release lever from a giant alien Bic lighter.
That’s a front right strut mount for 2160 Millennium Falcon.
Looks like you were correct Doc!

to me it looks like the head of an adz, but then again I have, in the past, been accused of being adz-centric.
its either a 58 degree sand or pitching wedge! including a hole to carry a spare ball. Nice!
It’s a suspension spring mount from a DeLorean.
That there is an interesting site.
Almost an anti-conspiracy site, run by cogent grown ups, which is refreshing.
ba ha ha.
well played.
“it was dated by Romanian officials as being 250,000 years old”
And as we know the Romanians lead the world in dating relics. lol
Aluminum does not stand up to excavation. All the excavators I’ve ever seen use iron buckets, with teeth attached. Even a trenching machine uses a steel chain with steel teeth.
Musta been one hell of a sand trap!.............
Aluminum anchor?.............
Since Russia is the world’s largest producer of aluminum, it may have come off an old Soviet digger, made with the cheapest materials they could use....................
