A few years ago, archaeologists excavating the megalithic tomb of Montelirio holos in Spain discovered an extraordinary dagger made from rock crystal. Experts deem it the most technically sophisticated tool ever found in Prehistoric Iberia, requiring immense skill for its creation. This 5,000-year-old artifact measures almost 8.5 inches in length and was unearthed alongside 10 arrowheads, four blades, and a weapon-making core, all crafted from rock crystal. This weapon likely belonged to an elite individual and could hold symbolic importance.
