Ötzi the Iceman's 5200 years old dagger.
Ötzi owned a functional dagger and a wicker sheath to keep it. His dagger is the only fully preserved dagger from the Copper Age.
Ötzi’s 13 cm dagger has a flint blade and an ash wood handle. The blade was forced into the wooden handle and bound with animal sinew. A string was attached to the end of the handle. The 12 cm sheath is made from lime tree bast. On the side of the sheath is a leather eyelet, presumably used to attach the dagger to the belt. The sheath is considerably larger than the dagger blade which is very small, hardly bigger than an arrowhead, perhaps because it was often resharpened. To sharpen his flint tool, Ötzi used a retoucheur to remove tiny fragments. Tests have shown that the flint came from Trentino (Italy).

A 3,600-year-old rubber ball, crafted by the Olmec civilization, was unearthed in a bog at the archaeological site of El Manatí in Mexican State of Veracruz. El Manati, located in a swampy region, was an ancient sacrificial, ceremonial and burial site of the Olmec culture. The unique boggy conditions here ensured the preservation of perishable materials that would have not survived otherwise.
Radiocarbon dating showed that the balls were made around 1600 BC, making them the oldest evidence of the production and use of rubber in the world. Because of the difference in sizes of the balls, it is possible that they were intended as offerings rather than for a use in a specific ball game.

The Ziggurat of Ur, situated near the Euphrates River in what was the ancient city of Ur, stands as an architectural marvel reflecting the advanced civilization of Mesopotamia. Constructed approximately 4,000 years ago during the Third Dynasty of Ur, in present-day Iraq, this monumental structure embodies significant advancements in governance, culture, and architecture.

Built with mud bricks due to the region's scarcity of stone, its stepped pyramid design symbolizes the cosmic axis connecting heaven and earth. Dedicated to the moon god Nanna, it served as a sacred sanctuary, with its summit temple acting as a conduit between mortals and the divine.

Despite centuries of wear, the ziggurat's enduring core structure offers invaluable insights into ancient Mesopotamian architectural and religious practices. Today, ongoing archaeological excavations and preservation efforts underscore its significance as a cultural heritage site, attracting global attention and admiration for its historical and spiritual importance.
