Several ancient and mysterious artefacts provide insights into the sophistication of humanity's distant past. A, 11,000-year-old deer skull from Yorkshire, England, has been carefully modified with holes and smoothed protrusions, suggesting it was used as a ritual headdress by prehistoric shamans. The Nebra Sky Disc, a 3,600-year-old bronze and gold disc found in Germany, appears to depict astronomical objects like the sun, moon, and stars, potentially serving as an ancient star chart or calendar. The Fleming Valve, a vacuum tube device from the late 19th century, enabled the development of radio technology and kickstarted the modern electronic revolution.
