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.

Give them a break. They had the knowledge to make aluminum objects but not the knowledge to know what or how it could be used.
My guess is this is proof of Muslim technology and knowledge that got stolen during the crusades by the evil Christians.

It’ll be an alloy with something, like zinc, and intended for use in the actual or potential presence of flammable gas (natural or refined) so as not to strike sparks.
Extra wear and tear is an acceptable tradeoff to explosion or fire risk.
