At least 35,000 years ago, in the depths of the last ice age, the sound of music filled a cave in what is now southwestern Germany, the same place and time early Homo sapiens were also carving the oldest known examples of figurative art in the world.

It could have been a Neanderthal flute.

Another vulture bone made flute was recovered from Alarcos, and dated between 1195 and 1212, it has been replicated and there is a music recording avalaible. Does the vulture have something "musical"?

:lol: Many experts may agree on that.
