One of the oldest known musical instruments: a Palaeolithic flute made from a vulture bone some 38,000 years ago! This is one of 8 known flutes found on the Swabian Jura. The finds suggest that music played an important role in this region. Found in the Hohle Fels cave. On display at urmu. 📷 me

I guess they played it with two hands? Because wow the spacing needs giant hands otherwise!

Curiosity has me asking: did they ever try to play it? Did someone record the tones it makes?
