How old are the oldest pieces of art and artifacts on Earth?
Lomekwi 3 is the name of an archaeological site in Kenya where ancient stone tools have been discovered dating to 3.3 million years ago, which make them the oldest ever found. Lomekwi is near the west bank of Lake Turkana, which is pictured in green on this satellite image.
At 3.3 million years old, tools unearthed at Lomekwi are the oldest stone tools ever discovered – older than humanity itself. The tools were used by an unknown and extinct, but advanced, species of hominin. They’re now held at the National Museum of Nairobi.
