10,000 years Old Ancient "Crayon" Discovery.

Archaeologists have unearthed a remarkable 10,000-year-old crayon near the site of an ancient lake in North Yorkshire, England. The reddish-brown crayon, made from a mixture of iron oxide and clay, is believed to have been used by hunter-gatherers during the Mesolithic era.
Researchers speculate that the crayon was used for various purposes, such as creating artwork on rocks, cave walls, or other surfaces. Or for applying color to skin or clothing for ceremonial or symbolic purposes.
