Summary

84% Informative

Archaeological site of Nahal Ein-Gev II, located near the Sea of Galilee in Israel , has yielded an extraordinary collection of 113 limestone pebbles, each carefully drilled through the center.

Researchers believe these perforated stones served as spindle whorls weighted discs that, when attached to a wooden stick, helped transform plant or animal fibers into thread through spinning.

The research suggests that rotational technology emerged much earlier than previously thought.

The study emphasizes how technological innovation often occurs through recombining existing knowledge in new ways.

The findings challenge the traditional narrative of when humans first began experimenting with rotational motion and suggest a more complex evolution of wheel-based technologies.
