A music record made of stone, made by a Cro-Magnon was recently discovered. The record could not be played because it requires a dodo bird’s beak to be used as a needle, but its lyrics etched in stone have also been recovered.
Partially translated, the song is about a man losing his wife to a Neanderthal, and his mother nagging him to get a job at the new wheel factory, instead of wasting his life on being a musician.
Since there were no cities back then, experts determine this to be the first country music song, which the artist named “The Ballad of Fred Flinstone”.
Another Fun fact from Mr. Science.
