Gesher Benot Ya’aqov (GBY) is a famous archaeological site in the Hula Valley in northern Israel. The site holds the remains of a number of large animals like elephants, as well as the stone tools used to butcher them. After being drained in the 1950s, the now-dry area was once a lake where large animals would come to drink.

Pretty interesting read. I think that a lot of ancient technology is yet to be discovered as many of it has been lost, buried, or broken. 

I still would love to know about that cement that was able to be used under water (it dried). We have similar things but not quite the same material.

It seems like they unearth these sorts of things every few years. I think they had been previously found but just not made a fuss over. I like to see the old tools and things used but speculating on how they are used is another thing. I have heard of people getting that stuff wrong on numerous occasions lol

I noticed that as well. They will find something be it a tool or whatever and assume what it was used but but half the time they get it wrong and then figure it out years after the fact. People still don't fully understand how the pyramids were built even now.
