Did Neanderthals invent dentistry 46k years ago? #Shorts

[00:00:00]This tooth was drilled 46,000 years ago and it still hurts.

[00:00:05]The pain was unbearable, so they did something impossible. In a cave near modern-day Slovenia, Neanderthals carved a perfect [music] hole in a molar with a sharpened stone drill, then packed it with plant fibers and bitumen. [music] That's not crude medicine, that's precision. The oldest [music] dental surgery ever found.

[00:00:27]And it's not an accident. We found 18 more Neanderthal teeth with similar holes, all dating between 46,000 and 50,000 years ago. They knew what they were doing. They weren't just surviving, they were healing. But here's the kicker, they did it without metal, [music] without written language, without any of our tools. So, ask yourself, what else were they hiding in those caves? Drop a comment, what's [music] the oldest human technology or shock still exist?
