A 500 million year old hammer and other amazing, unexplainable found artifacts

[From ZMEScience.com]

Every once in a while archaeologists (and sometimes regular Joes) make some remarkable discoveries. Stunned, they are often unable to explain what it is they’ve found, how it came into existence, or ascertain its value. This is a comprehensive list of such artifacts; artifacts that many believe should have never existed given the discerned age/period of their creation.

In June 1936 (or 1934 according to some accounts), Max Hahn and his wife Emma were on a walk when they noticed a rock with wood protruding from its core. They decided to take the oddity home and later cracked it open with a hammer and a chisel. Ironically, what they found within seemed to be an archaic hammer of sorts. A team of archaeologists checked it, and as it turns out, the rock encasing the hammer was dated back more than 400 million year; the hammer itself turned out to be more than 500 million years old. Additionally, a section of the handle has begun the transformation to coal. Creationists, of course, were all over this. The hammer’s head, made of more than 96% iron, is far more pure than anything nature could have achieved without an assist from modern technology…

    Was’t that what evolutionists Always did? – simply conjecture about the age of the “fossil fragment” that mixed up together by internal evolutionists from apes’s bone and human’s bones, Piltdown Man…etc…etc…

    Evolution(a Cult from 19th century) = The Biggest Hoax EVER existed in our 100 Million Years Of Human History :-)

    Sensationalized, and simply conjecture about the age of the “artifact” etc. Read the history and the analysis of it carefully and you’ll see that it is nothing of what it is reported to be (other than a hammer, stuck in some ‘rock'; all other details quite undetermined).
    What is frustrating about this is that, as a person who teaches anthropology, I am finding more and more students coming to classes who simply take this stuff as if it were proven fact, rather than understanding it with the scientific questioning required in order to establish facts. Routinely I am up against “ancient aliens,” and “giants who built the pyramids,” and “gods from outer space,” and “bigfoot sightings….” Yikes!
