40,000-year-old Fingernail Carvings
Archaeologists in Germany have discovered two small carvings made from mammoth ivory dating back approximately 40,000 years inside the Hohle Fels cave in southwestern the country. One of the carvings depicts a bird in a resting pose, while the other shows the same bird in flight. Each piece measures about two to three centimeters and weighs less than one gram. These items are considered among the smallest and most exquisite works of art from that period and are believed to reflect advanced artistic skills possessed by early humans 40,000 years ago.
