to question the theories about how the human race has arrived in Europe, were fragments of worked flint, ax-shaped, 13 cm long. Artefacts similar to those found in Africa, where it is believed the man was born. Archaeologists believe that the 30 axes found in 9 different sites in Crete, were older than 10,000 years. From radiocarbon dating, but were have been made 130,000 years ago. The researchers say this is evidence that at that time, the man she has to navigate, a capacity that is believed to have developed only 50,000 years ago.
" These men were not by chance, were real sailors - continues the expert - the fact that we found the axes at nine sites means that many people have arrived here by sea . The researchers also calculated the possible extension of the trip: the first sailors from Turkey would have had to step up to 40 kilometers, while a trip to Africa would require 200 km of open sea. Many experts believe that the first reliable evidence of long road trips mare, siano dei resti ritrovati in Polinesia e risalenti a 50mila anni fa. Questa recente scoperta, conferma la tesi di coloro chi ritengono che le tecniche di navigazione siano state sviluppate molto prima.
