I’m being completely serious. Was reading a report for a different topic and the archaeologist was basically like “yeah we found a stone d*ck. We don’t know if it’s a joke or not from several thousand years ago”

Weird stones shaped like axes? Surely they must be evidence of prehistoric man! *People in Europe 500 BC - 1800-ish AD* Nah bro they’re made by lighting and fall from the sky. If you give it to a pregnant woman it induces child birth!

The next video exploring how “ancient civilizations had their own civilizations” is going to be a fun one!

This particular example comes from Bulgaria
