While Guinness World Records officially lists the Djoser Step pyramid in Egypt as the world’s oldest pyramid (around 2,630 BC), one paper published in October claimed a layer of the Gunung Padang pyramid in Indonesia was constructed as far back as 25,000 BC – though there has since been doubts as to whether the structure was ever man-made at all.In research led by Danny Hilman Natawidjaja of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, and published in the journal Archaeological Prospection, the academics write that “the pyramid’s core consists of meticulously sculpted massive andesite lava” and that the “oldest construction” element of...

A Dime Saved

Deception has a long history in human storytelling. People have always told tall tales and fabricated stories, sometimes to impress, sometimes to protect, and sometimes just for the thrill of it.

For decades, we’ve believed that Ice Age humans hunted massive animals like the mammoth and saber-toothed cat by throwing spears. However, a new study could turn that notion on its head. Instead, researchers now believe that the humans who lived during that time period may have relied on spears planted in the ground—like spikes—instead of throwing spears.
This is quite a far cry from the usual belief that humans used to run after these massive beasts, throwing spears at their sides, hoping to land a killing blow. That form of hunting was much more primitive, whereas setting up traps for these...
