Music was invented by a prehistoric hunter who was strumming his bow during a lull in the action....

The small burnt and broken piece of carved piece of wood was found during an excavation in a cave on Skye. Archaeologists said it was likely to be part of the bridge of a lyre dating to more than 2,300 years ago. Broken and burnt? Perhaps they have dated the oldest known music critic, too.

This guitar was invented by Mick in 400 B.C. who also invented the wheel by rolling stones.

I wonder if they played the “Skye Boat Song” with it.
