A knife made of green jasper, top,
and a human burial site were
accidentally found in Niger at a
burial and settlement site estimated at 5,000 years old.

The knife is beautiful.
Too bad the locals started driving SUVs and ruined the climate.

Absent carbon-dating this could just as easily be the remains of an archaeologist from 100 years ago who got caught in a violent snowstorm.

Carbon Dating should narrow it down to between 5000 and 50,000,382 years with a large degree of certainty.

"I was looking at a bowl of fossilized catfish. Someone in the middle of a meal abandoned this bowl, and it got fossilized." I wonder what could cause a bowl of catfish to fossilize in tact, say around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago?

It is so annoying when one of your buried bone collections gets discovered...but at least they found Muttly's Cub Scout knife.
Is that a Pith Helmet behind that skull...?....
