A 37,000-year-old piece of mammoth ivory with four carved holes found in a cave in Germany was probably tool for making ropes, researchers have suggested’. Experiments with a replica suggest it.
Evolutionists believe that ice age animals are thousands of years old, they do not hold the
flood of Noah's day as accurate.
“You can make rope
with it very easily, and the rope’s very strong,” says Nicholas Conard at
the University of Tübingen in Germany. “Of course, that doesn’t
mean that’s the only thing it could be. But compared to saying that it’s a
symbol of power or some sort of artwork, I think the rope hypothesis is a
pretty good one.”
“The piece of
ivory was found in 2015 in the Hohle Fels cave in the Ach valley in
south-west Germany.”
What about dating?
”It hasn’t been dated directly to avoid damaging it, but based on where it was
found it must be at least 35,000 years old, and is most likely around 37,000
years old, says Nicholas Conard - and it was probably made by modern humans.”
