35,000-Year-Old Flute Is Oldest Music Instrument Ever Found

Posted by timothy on from the old-earth-theory dept.

Omomyid writes "The AFP is reporting the discovery of a 35,000 year-old flute, made from a vulture wing bone. The context described makes it sound like a musician's shop. There were also fragments of ivory-based flutes and flint tools. Being at least 35KYO this bone flute beats the previous oldest-known musical instrument by at least 5,000 years and puts it very close to the beginning of the Aurignacian culture."

    OBVIOUSLY "God" put it there to trick people into following the DEVIL and believing in all this evolution crap, just like the dinosaur bones. You know, people are pretty smart and you have to make sure you trick them and trip them up, otherwise we can't all fit into heaven. /more sarcasm
