  Wow. Never heard of it. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divje_Babe_flute

  Not a rudimentary instrument by any means! Capable of 3.5 octaves and modern scales and ornamentation.

    I often wonder how many relatively advanced civilizations might have existed of which all trace was wiped away by time.

      I think about this a lot. Modern homo sapiens have been around for ~160,000 years. Recorded history starts around 5,000 years ago.

      I cannot comprehend the amount of human history we will simply never know.

      The vast majority of all human culture to ever exist is forgotten already.

    Nah, that thing is clearly a ceremonial religious object, like all the things we discover.

  The reconstructed Neanderthal flute has a capability of 3½ octaves and all contemporary music genres can be played on it. It is possible to perform a series of musical articulations and ornamentations such as legato, staccato, double and triple tonguing, flutter-tonguing, glissando, chromatic scales, trills, broken chords, interval leaps, and melodic successions from the lowest to the highest tones (via Wikipedia)

  There is also a video of Ljuben Dimkaroski playing a replica of the flute.
