    Well not exactly antique. In fact somewhat older than antique.

    A couple of pretty old flutes, made of mammoth bone, about 42,000 years old.

    I'm impressed by this. I'm no expert on pre-history, but if I was made to guess, I'd have said that 42000 years ago, the people of the day would be limited in their musical endeavours to knocking a couple of rocks together in rythym.
