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 so large that it is difficult to imagine how they were used practically. Archaeologists speculate that they may have been used for demonstrations of strength and skill, rather than for practical purposes like butchering or skinning animals. The discovery offers an opportunity to learn more about the early humans who made these tools and the reasons behind their size.
