A Stone Age hand axe dating back 500,000 years... These wild estimates on huge spans of time are fabrications, nothing more. They have no clue how old this thing is. More junk science, probably paid for by British taxpayers.

In central Virginia, "axes" which look just like that are thrown into a general catagory called "arrowheads". You can easily find them just lying around in any farm field after it rains. There's not a lot of people around here who don't have at least a few of them collecting dust on a knick-knack shelf and shoeboxes or even garages full of them are quite common.

Do you have a 500,000-year-old axe in your pocket or are you just glad to see me.

Robert Byrd used that axe in early Klan rituals, back when he was a teenager.

The lack of material for good quality hand axes in the midlands would probably have been known to our ancestors, therefore these tools could have been brought in ready made.Hmmmmm. Sounds like capitalism began early with axe traders.

can someone please tell me how a stone chipped off of a bigger stone that is millions of years old, can be dated as being made 500,000 years ago??? Would not the carbon of the axe be the same as the carbon of the original rock?

Since it is missing any tags or labels, how did they arrive at that date?

Does it have the initial "C" inscribed on it (for "Conan" the Barbarian)?

Archaeologists are now trying to figure out how the tool might have got there.Huh? England isn't all that big. Somebody probably threw it at the cat one night and couldn't find it the next morning. Problem solved.
