The Neanderthal Artifact That Rewrote Music History

Discovered in a Slovenian cave in 1995, the original Divje Babe Flute (carved from a cave bear cub’s femur) is estimated to be between 40,000 and over 60,000 years old. This vast range places it firmly as the most controversial and potentially oldest instrument ever found.
