Archaeologists have revealed the oldest wooden structure discovered about half a million years ago, which can be more advanced than before. Lock Points Archaeologists, for the oldest wooden structure dating back 9,000 years ago Archaeologists say that for oldest wooden structure dating back 9,000 years ago, the discovered wooden structure of previous record holders dates back to 476,000 years ago Discovered wooden structure dates back to 476,000 years ago Homo Sapiens's oldest proof of about 300,000 years ago The extremely well preserved wooden structure was found near the Tanzania border in Kalambo Waterfalls in the north of Zambia. According to a study that explains the finding in Nature magazine, it dates back to at least 476,000 years before Homo Sapiens's evolution. Sign signs that are used combine the two large stumps to combine a platform, passage or residential structure keep our relatives on the water. The collection of wood appliances, including a wedge and digging bar, was also discovered in the field. People's ancestors were now known that they are currently using wood, but for limited purposes such as starting or hunting. Archaeologist Larry Barham, chief author Liverpool University of England and research, said that AFP had previous record for oldest wooden structure 9,000 years ago. Mr. Barham said that building was excavated in area on banks of Kalambo River, above a highly 235 -meter waterfall, a "discovery of luck" in 2019. The high water level in Kalambo Falls is believed to have maintained the structure for centuries. Discoveries containing such ancient woods are rare because they tend to leave the small trace behind for historical recording. However, the high water in Kalambo Waterfalls is believed to have maintained the structure for centuries. 'Imagination and Skills' In 1950s and 1960s, the excavations in Kalambo region revealed some wood, but could not be dated correctly. However, this time, the researchers used a new method called luminescence dating, which measures the last exposure to sunlight. The structure is thought to be used as a platform This revealed that the structure was much older than that of researchers thought at least 476,000 years ago. The oldest proof of Homo Sapiens is about 300,000 years ago. However, the fossils of Homo Heidelbergensis, who was thought to have lived 700,000 to 200,000 years ago, were found in the region. Barham, discovery of the wooden structure "This has changed my way of thinking about way," he added. "They turned their surroundings make life easier by making a platform to sit by the river just do their daily work." "They used their intelligence, imagination and skills to create something they've never seen before, something that has never existed before." This shows an abstract level of thought and "probably language". Sophie Archambault de Beaune, an archaeologist at University o
