For those interested in ancient history, take a look at this unique find:
Archaeologists in Rodbyhavn, Denmark, have found a remarkably well-preserved axe with an intact shaft during their digs in connection with the construction of the Femern Belt Fixed Link.
The narrow-necked flint axe is evaluated to be about 5,500 years old and was found in what used to be the seabed during the Stone Age.
"To find such a well-preserved shafted axe is incredible," Soren Anker Sorensen, an archaeologist with Museum Lolland-Falster, said in a press release.
"Thanks to the unique preservation conditions, we have found a lot of organic material during the digs. We had also found several special items such as an oar, two bows and 14 axe shafts, but when we found an entire shafted axe 30cm below the sea floor, we knew we had made a unique find."
