Yep, I stand corrected. :)

I found the rope maker to be one of the most significant finds to date, This is a HUGE jump in technological innovation compared to what was assumed to be capable at that timeline.

At first I was skeptical about their interpretation of this tool. Then I looked at it further and realized that anyone who knows rope or cordage can spot the telltale confirmation.

Especially if one has ever hand twisted cordage such as a Flemish twist bow string. Do you see this in how it is made?
