Those hi-tech researchers sure belief in a whole lot of magic.

Those, without a scale to indicate otherwise, look like some of the bolo ties my lapidarist uncle made back in the 1960s.

It's a mystery that could shed light on life in Hampshire 6,000 years ago. Four Stone Age axes, dating from a time when people had stopped hunting woolly mammoths and sabretoothed tigers and turned to farming,...

After 5,000 years of not finding any extinct beasts to kill, it is no wonder they quit hunting them. Not that I specically remember ever hunting sabertooths, since it was more a matter of me killing them first, when they were hunting me...otherwise, I wouldn't still be here.

In 2003, extraction sites for the distinctive and beautiful green stone, known as jadeite, were discovered high up in the North Italian Alps by the pioneering archaeologists, Pierre and Anne-Marie Pétrequin... Researchers believe that jadeite axes were valued not just for their practical uses but also for magical properties. These were conferred by their origin in places where earth meets sky; where this world meets that of the gods and spirits.

That kind of stuff I left to the priests and shaman. As for myself, I just looked for good, hard stones I could work, as I crossed the river where the Straits of Dover would eventually be. It was amazing what nice rocks and shiny stones would be washed down from Austria and Germany in the winter floods.

Along with the seed corn needed to grow crops, and domesticated animals, the settlers brought their treasured heirlooms to remind them of the magical places far away and to bring good luck in the new land.

wonder how they figured that out?

Scientific Method no doubt
