Giant 300,000-Year-Old Hand Axes Discovered in England Challenge Understanding of Early Humans

Researchers found two exceptionally large flint hand axes, approximately 300,000 years old, in Kent, England.
The hand axes are believed to be some of the largest ever found in Britain and were used for butchering animals and cutting meat.
The hand axes may have also served a symbolic function due to their immense size and the skill required to create them.
The site also revealed a Roman cemetery from the first to fourth centuries AD with 25 individuals, some buried with personal belongings.
The discovery provides new insights into the lives of early humans and Neanderthals in Britain during the Ice Age.
