Tiny Bird Bone Flutes from Prehistoric Natufian People Found in Israel
/ Anne EnkeLevant-region archaeologists have discovered prehistoric flutes believed to be 12,000 years old. The flutes were scattered among a stockpile of 1,100 bird bones and had gone unnoticed since the site’s discovery in 1950.
The flute instruments were discovered at a site called Eynan-Mallaha [also known as Ain Mallaha], located on the shores of Lake Hula in the Huleh Valley of today’s northern Israel. The site is believed to be home to the last hunter-gatherers in the region, says Dr. Laurent Davin, an archaeologist and a post-doctoral fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The Natufian people were a prehistoric group that lived in what is now modern-day Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and northern Syria around 12,500 to 9,500 BCE. They were known for their advanced hunting and gathering techniques, as well as their unique cultural practices.

Kanye’s statement that he has never read a book is ironic. Ye compared reading books to eating brussel sprouts, while owning a school Donda Academy. Kanye’s school is now closed due to his antisemitism and the rebuke and resignations by Jews involved with Donda Academy’s curriculum development.
