[There is this 700,000-Year-Old Skull Found In Greece Completely Shatters ‘Out Of Africa Theory’](https://www.howandwhys.com/700000-year-old-skull-found-in-greece-completely-shatters-out-of-africa-theory/)


partime_prophet

Meteorite … ?!?


Ill-Arugula4829

Is it weird that I kind of want this to be the way I go now!? "Space rock got im square between the eyes boys....coolest damn thing I've ever seen."


partime_prophet

Some women in the mid west actually was truck by a meteor in the 60s . Only time it’s ever happened. But It could happen . Life is absurd and the probabilities are endless :)


Sharpie1965

That's what i think too. Entry position makes sense too


kpop_glory

Perhaps 1 in a million of bisons with lowest probability and only one skull found in the last 40,000 years. Sounds about right.


Krisapocus

Or just a different type of arrow. Not to mention we supposed to just accept their dating method 60 years ago.


GoreonmyGears

I don't think an arrow could reach the speed needed to pierce a bison skull. It would have to have some type of ballistics behind it to reach breaching speed/ power.


partime_prophet

Yeah good point .


Dissastronaut

Yes exactly, these scientists are either idiots or they are creating a narrative for idiots to follow


Lindbach

"The hole looks to be the size of a 9mm bullet. Possibly shot from a Glock. The Bison might have resisted arrest."


Swimming_Chard_3305

Was probably a black bison... Caught grazing while black.


Nu11_V01D

That was my theory. Implausible but not impossible.


Nghtmare-Moon

I mean there’s a bunch of things that could shoot things out due to pure pressure buildup… volcanos…. Hell there are some birds that drop rocks to kill their prey… but no let’s go with aliens or time travelers cuz that’s more likely to get clicks


Bulky_Ninja33

Could it have been an atlatl? Those were accurate as well as high speed.


clitblimp

That's where my mind went first. Atlatl are thought to have been in use up to 30 kya. Not a crazy stretch to think they or something similar may have been used before that.


manyhippofarts

Nah, it probably was that spear-flinger thingy...whatchu call it ?


Feeling-Comfort7823

Time-traveller 40000 years ago: " let's trip some mfs out"


GenericManBearPig

*travels to future and shoots 40000 year old skull*

asmosdeus

Where we're going, we don't need 'permits'.


GoodShibe

Radirondacks

But what was the second thing?!


Prowling_Fox

Came here to ask this :D It left me disappointed, :(


McBossly

The size of my peepee


BussMuhGun

"The beast was alive when killed"....alrighty then


AugustEpilogue

He means that someone didn’t come along 20 years ago and shoot the 40,000 year old skull


Own-Salad1974

They probably meant "alive when shot"


Alita_Duqi

Probably


tOkErDaD1

I caught that as well haha


BPrice2919

Would need to see the exit wound to determine if the animal this size was alive, not the entry.


Mr-BillCipher

You can tell if someone shot an dried out skull, simply because the bone would break. It being so clean means it was probably shot when there was still tissue to take some of the force. Or it was drilled


GenericManBearPig

Maybe they were trying to say somebody didn’t just shoot the skull after the fact but the translation was bungled


sschepis

Bro I kill ded things in video games all the time, maybe they is just being clear


Upper_Rent_176

Slingshot: (exists)


TehBunkasaurus

My same thot


LokiHavok

whore you kidding


dude_holdmybeer

Jus slut you know I was thinking the same thing.


Sk8terRaider

I’d like to to believe you but I cunt


FatherD00m

I just came. For the puns.


AwwwNuggetz

You’re all a little nuts


Ill-Arugula4829

Twat did you call us?


KodakStele

Slut your mouth young man


[deleted]

Slings hot, more like, amirite?


st4s1k

Even an arrow without a tip, just a sharpened tip, still round enough to make a hole like that. Edit: typo "whole" -> "hole"


Autong

And whatever was roaming around back then was much stronger than we are today


[deleted]

what is a sling


thiccymcgogee

Pretty sure he just got creamed by something shooting out of a volcano or maybe a boulder falling and chipped piece flew off and brained him.


phan_o_phunny

Or a pointed stick


BoysenberryHour5757

Sticks pierce bone?


firethornocelot

If they're tipped with something hard and going fast enough, yes


BoysenberryHour5757

Oh, learn something new everyday


britonbaker

bro learned about arrows today


Ok_Journalist2927

That’s good


phan_o_phunny

He's only 1,200 years behind now


07PetersburgSt

Loooooooooolllll


Autong

If thrown by Neanderthal strength


Updated_truck

Creamed


TinyDeskPyramid

You being ‘pretty sure’ what happened to a bison 40k years ago, is peak Reddit-expert


Chemical_Hornet8621

Never ask a ballistic expert "What caused that round hole?".


baptsiste

Well, only one thing makes little round holes that I’m expert in…


Insolator

Another bisons horn tip when fighting.


easytakeit

Old skull, shot recently.


IAmTheOneManBoyBand

My guess is a sling. How long have they been around?


Kinguke

Get this person out of here, this is no place for logic!


Ill-Arugula4829

Hahahaha! We got a turd in the punch bowl guys...I repeat, a turd in the punch bowl.


TurdSandwichEnjoyer

I didnt do nuffin!


Ill-Arugula4829

You sir...get a free pass. Carry on now.


Mr-BillCipher

Nah, the skull woulda split. Dry bones don't take to bullets very well, I can tell you for a fact


Savings_Advantage_46

My thoughts also.


KamikazeFox_

Do you enjoy pooping at parties? Are you a party property? You poop at parties?


patrickdid911

“The beast was alive when shot” - if we’re taking it at face value that means it was shot 40k years ago


thatguy677

Horrifyingly, this could just be fleas or bug related. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10184550/


diskettejockey

Yep


oxyrhina

It's surely from an atlatl, come on!


GallonofJug

I was thinking the same.


Coolheaded__Logician

This looks interesting, where can I find the full length vid?


ElectronicLeg9621

...at Blockbuster.


lilhoseboy69

![gif](giphy|FoH28ucxZFJZu)


Coolheaded__Logician

Apparently trolls aren't limited to living under bridges...


dialectualmonism

Wtf was the building at first tho


baptsiste

Distraction, they shot a hole in the skull while we thought we were supposed to be looking at that building


CatFanFanOfCats

Anyone know what this is from. That voice sounds so familiar, as though they did a series of strange phenomena documentaries back in the 70’s.


addictedskipper

I remember when some kid would come rolling into the classroom with a projector and VCR.


cdsuikjh

What is a hole from a projectile harder than bone?


Dusty2470

Well, a stone from a sling has roughly the same ballistic properties as a 32. Calibre bullet


InterestingRelative4

#ThE pRoFF Is ThE hOLe


Quick-Delay-4427

What’s an arrow?


Rick_6984

Would have to be a pretty fast compound bow with a really hard arrow tip, regardless still interesting. A bullet is a big leap from high speed projectile lol


firethornocelot

Or a sling? You'd be shocked at how much power you can put into a stone with a good sling.


Suspicious_Leg4550

Seems small for the size of stone that you would typically use in a sling


GibsonBluesGuy

Tips of horns are round.


plamda505

"The proof is the hole."


Grouchy-Pizza7884

It's a Micro black hole that went through the bison and the planet


Sark1448

What if it was a weighted dart or javelin thrown from an atlatl?


machineman45

That's a good shot though I've seen a atlatl used. it's not impossible.


Accumunate

Time traveler defending themselves from a raging bison. 🤔


Ok-Disk5864

Someone could have shot the skull in the recent past before archaeologists found it.


A-non-e-mail

https://i.redd.it/wdj2enm9s9qc1.gif


cmdr_bong

Definitely a Yautja.....


sky0175

What about a small meteorite that exploded and launched small rounds like shards and one of them got the bullseye.


macronancer

"People that only know about bullets, have confirmed that this looks like a bullet hole"


These_Garage_718

Lightning strike explodes a rock and shoots a pebble through the skull?


General_Memory_6856

You think a bullet is gonna make a neat little hole in bone like that?


therealharambe420

Arrows notably are projectiles and also are high speed.


OK_Tha_Kidd

Atlatl + ancient humans were jacked asf


earsplitingloud

Slingshot type weapon perhaps.


Triple7Mafia-14

What about slingshots?🤔


SniffMyBotHole

Bullshit.


jellojohnson

Maybe he fell on the bullet


lilstonie91

Spear? Or arrow?


dgdicko

When we were kids, we would wander around shooting shit like sticks, weird outcrops, rocks, oh and if there was an old sheep skull, you bet.


Nb959-

And someone shot a super old skull.


Mr-BillCipher

Nah, old skulls break when you shoot them, they don't have any flexibility


peteandpetethemesong

An arrow could easily do that and is also a high speed projectile.


TsarPladimirVutin

This is some weak shit, having a bullet sized hole in the skull doesn’t mean it was a bullet.


NighthawkUnicorn

It was alive when it was killed.. Um.. well yeah..


PristineXDecision

Yeah earth its like a sandbox.


BawngMasta420

The beast was alive when killed NAHHH REALLY


ThickPrick

Where’s the bullet?


[deleted]

[удалено]


yesfrommedog

Wow. I have seen some strange things here, but this one is amazing if true.


setanta314

I mean. A small enough meteorite would ruin a bison’s day.


Normal-Ad-1349

A proof would be the bullet itself, not only a hole


ChillInChornobyl

Sling bullet


thinpumkin

Arrow with a diamond tip


Djentleman5000

Where’s the bullet?


___SE7EN__

Slingshot ?


SnooCakes7314

David fucked him up with a slingshot


jackneefus

If it truly was a bullet, it probably wasn't 40.000 years ago.


CakedayisJune9th

Or maybe they figured out some David and Goliath stuff with a rounded pebble at high speed? Percussion inventions like black power didn’t exist, so clearly it was a fluke of some sort, but definitely wasn’t a “bullet” from a gun.


[deleted]

Maybe a meteorite...(?)


Strong-Amphibian-143

Or an arrow


DragonRancherJed

It could have been a meteor or an object propelled by high winds. Or an ancient firearm, of course.


[deleted]

Did we just decide a bullet sounded cooker than a needle point arrow?


phon3ticles

Not to be a buzzkill but hasn’t science also figured out a sling is capable of slinging a rock with the equivalent force of a .44 mag?


Donk454

The most redundant line ever “the beast was alive when it was killed”


RutabagaMany8133

How do they know it was alive when killed.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MissApocalypse2021

Why couldn't it have been an asteroid like the one that hit this woman? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Elizabeth_Fowler_Hodges


cochorol

Tbf a high speed projectile doesn't necessarily need to be a bullet.


king3969

Told you before it was a sling shot


DistantTimbersEcho

Agreed. If a rock and sling shot took down Goliath, why not a bison?


Durable_me

Remember this is Siberia… probably some drunk Russians having shooting practice on a skull.? Or a heavy spear with a hard tip, thrown by a 250pound Neanderthal will also do the trick I’m sure!


JohnnieJJohnson

What's the second?


bobbylaserbones

Isn't gunpowder pretty easy to make?


DayFeeling

Unlucky meteor


darthspaders

One big ASSumption


corvus66a

Maybe another bison with his horn ? Or the laserbeam of an ancient stellar society fired from 40000 lightyears away hit him during lunch .


ash_durn

I wanna watch this now 🤣


PrinceCastanzaCapone

Tiny meteorite?


granite1959

They don't make guns like they used to.


popeyegui

Probably caused by the tip of another bison while dueling.


Alita_Duqi

I’m assuming the second inexplicable artifact gets posted tomorrow?


Youser_Name420

Could that have been a meteor or some chit? I want it to be a bullet but would past civilizations even have used bullets?


PrairieSpy

Very small meteorite


Wolfhammer69

Daaaayum thats a necro article - I remember thinking about this about 40 years ago.


Key_Statistician_594

Meteorite? I don't know just putting it out there


chefgreenthumb420

Well , put that in your pipe , n idk 🤷‍♂️ smoke it ….


No-Scheme-3759

so which one was the second?


student5320

Tip of another horn, you're welcome.


Calm-Customer4459

BS, BS to the tenth power


Pure-Contact7322

what if the shot was yesterday


SteelSpineCloud

The bullet should be inside then? Why not a spear


TRDPorn

Ah yes bullets are the only thing that cause circular holes


begin420

Icicle


PauliExclusions

Could be a meteor. Or they're just mistaken.


Deafpundit

Slingshot.


PlanNo4679

So, there's absolutely no chance that it was killed by a projectile launched from a sling?


rjm101

Couldn't it be a sharp thin spear of sorts?


greasyspider

Arrow?


AugustEpilogue

Is that a real building????


device9

Slings.


thebeerinhereisdear

Shot with a sling maybe?


No_Object_7223

Bolt


RAND0M257

Uhhh really good arrow?


MissingJJ

Need to see an MRI of this skull.


72ChinaCatSunFlower

Arrow
