"Enigmatic Oversized Hand Axes Baffle Scientists at Ancient Ice Age Site in England"

TL;DR Summary
Two giant hand axes, over 300,000 years old, have been discovered in England. These prehistoric tools, measuring over 22cm long, are difficult to handle and may have been used for demonstrations of strength and skill. Archaeologists believe they were used for butchering or skinning animals, but their large size suggests a possible symbolic or less practical function. The site where they were found was a prime hunting ground during the Ice Age, inhabited by early humans and Neanderthals. The purpose and creators of these unusually large hand axes remain a mystery.
