Boomerang

This is where an ancient boomerang was found (probably the oldest in the world):

Re: Boomerang

Dear Jacek, you are right only in part. There is there another cave situated within the same mountain and the same its southern slope, 20-30 meters toward the west and there this boomerng was discovered by a scientist from Cracow. This year elaborated new layers in this cave are dated even to Pleistocene.
Nice to comment for you :-)

Re: Boomerang

Hi Romek,
I'm glad I wasn't 100% right because that'd mean I must be – I'll quote an old Carpathian Jew speaking about those who are 100 per cent right, quoted by Czeslaw Milosz at the very beginning of the The Captive Mind - an awful rogue, or worse. :) In seriousness, thanks for the correction. I actually thought the boomerang was discovered in the other one but I wasn't sure since – unfortunately – I haven't been there for ages. Still, when I last visited the place, there was a kind of makeshift gate barring the entry to the excavation site.
Cheers
Jacek
