>>Either way, me thinks this axe dating is off by a zero.
It looks to be a typical Acheulian hand axe, Early Paleolithic, between 700K and 400K in Europe, depending on where you are. What makes you think it is only 50K years old?
I am new to these kind of threads. Is there always so much "disbelief" of science and its work? On the crevo threads it is easy to understand that attitude, because evolution hits so hard inside one's soul. But here? Could this "disbelief" be from the same source (religious, strict interpretation of the bible)?
