After discovering the traces of tropical plants 5 million years ago in Siberia, the excavation of these Paleolithic jewels proves that there are many unknown surprises in the deep history of mankind.

Archaeologists say that the artificial jewels they found in the caves of Denisova and nearby are finely crafted, and more details will be published in scientific journals. The age of these jewels can be pushed to the early Paleolithic era, about 45,000 to 50,000 years ago, earlier than similar jewels found in South America.

Maksim KOzlikin, a researcher at the Novosibirsk Institute of Human Archaeology, said: "This is not an ordinary discovery. We were very excited when the team discovered these beads. This is an amazing work because of the ostrich eggs. The shell texture is very hard, and the hole in the middle of the bead must be carefully polished with stone."

Scientists believe that these exquisite works should be from a skilled craftsman. The ability to adopt such a technique in that era is very remarkable, and it is very similar to the crafts of the Neolithic Age after the millennium. These beads may be sewn on clothes at the time, or they may be made into bracelets and necklaces.

But Maxim also admits: "We still have a lot of information about these beads, such as where they were made. There is a saying that the ostrich egg shell may be imported from the outer Baikal or Mongolia, and the other may be These beads are here as barter exchanges."

“Either possibility, the residents of the Denisova caves have been technically advanced and they have established good connections with the outside world,” adds Maxim.

Scientists have discovered similar beads in 2005, 2006, and 2008. Although they cannot be said to belong to the same person, at least in appearance, they look the same.

The newly discovered beads in Siberia may be the best preserved in nature so far, and it truly presents the history of early humans. Scientists have been conducting archaeological excavations in this cave for 30 years, and more surprises are still to be discovered.
