Such a neat discovery - a bracelet tracing back 40,000 years was found in the Denisova Cave in Siberia next to woolly mammoth and other animal remains dating back to 125,000 years. The cave is named after the Denisovan people - "a mysterious species of hominins from the Homo genus, who are genetically different from both Homo sapiens and Neanderthals". This is officially the oldest piece of jewelry ever discovered and its craftsmanship "shows a level of technique at least 30,000 years ahead of its time". Certain areas of the bracelet indicate the use of a type of tool similar to that of a "modern drill". It's also believed that this artifact belonged to an elite in the society. How incredible to think of life thousands of years ago and what this small, yet powerful piece of jewelry may have seen.
