Please delete this article. The science was settled long ago.

There is no room for disinformation like this. We know what we know and that is it!

What’s this? Could it be true that once upon a time humans used sharp metal implements to carve the flesh of animals? Can this lost technology be revived?

Of course these were made for practical everyday uses.

Ancient people didn’t have time to make objects for ‘ceremonial’ use, they were to busy trying to SURVIVE...................

Why would they even think they were merely ceremonial. That’s not even a reasonable guess.

Sure... ancient humans fighting the elements, starvation and wild predators had the time and energy to make ‘ceremonial’ weapons???

Seriously??

They noticed the etching on them. Turns out it was just a set of daggers from “Cave Creek & Beyond”.

Numerous copper-alloy daggers have been unearthed in Bronze Age warriors' graves across Europe, along with other weapons, and archaeologists previously speculated that the daggers may have served as status symbols.

That is because "Status" is the new "toy".

It is part of the postmodernist line.

It is a bunch of hooey as anyone who has practices primitive craft will tell you. There is so much to do to keep you in just the basics that making useless status symbols would have been way down on the list of things to do.

How the heck did they keep copper knives sharp enough for such work?
I guess the “alloy” part of copper alloy is important?

Give any 10 year old boy a non-functional ceremonial object that looks
even remotely like a sword, knife or dagger, ether now, 100 years ago, or 10,000 years ago, and they’re gonna stick and slash something or someone.

I would suggest the daggers are actually spear points.
