1. Title: "Reindeer Antler Harpoons of the Paleolithic Period: A Glimpse into Prehistoric New Zealand at the National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark" 2.. This image showcases an intriguing collection of ancient reindeer antler harpoons, dating back to approximately 9500 BC. Housed at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, Denmark, these prehistoric artifacts offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives of early human inhabitants of New Zealand during the Paleolithic period. The harpoons, meticulously crafted from reindeer antlers, were likely used for hunting large aquatic animals, such as seals and fish, which were essential sources of food and sustenance for these early communities. The intricate designs and careful shaping of the harpoons demonstrate the advanced skills and knowledge of the people who created them. The Paleolithic period, also known as the Old Stone Age, spans from approximately 2.6 million to 10,000 BC. This era marks the beginning of human civilization, characterized by the development of stone tools and the emergence of human cultures. The discovery of these reindeer antler harpoons in New Zealand provides valuable insights into the early human presence in the region and their adaptation to the unique environment. The National Museum of Denmark, an esteemed institution dedicated to preserving and sharing the stories of Denmark's rich history, is proud to exhibit these precious relics from New Zealand's prehistoric past. This collection serves as a testament to the interconnectedness of human history across the globe and the enduring legacy of our ancient ancestors. 3.
