Imagine living 6,000 years ago without phones or internet! 🤯 Scientists recently made an amazing discovery in Spain. They found really old sea snail shells that people used like giant horns to talk to each other over long distances.
🐚 These special shells, from Charonia lampas snails, were found in ancient underground mines. Early humans carefully changed them by removing the tip, turning them into powerful sound-makers. They could blast sounds as loud as a car horn!
🔊 Researchers tested these old shells and found many could still make sounds, even different notes! This means they weren't just fancy decorations. People likely used them as warning systems in dark mines or to coordinate farming work across wide fields, like an ancient walkie-talkie.
This discovery shows how clever ancient people were at solving problems with what they had. What other amazing ways do you think they might have communicated?
