I came across this statement on a recent list: I wrote several times to the museums of Windhoek, Namibia, but they never answered: really funny!

However, I have not been able to find *any photos* of these prehistoric Gibeon artifacts in Internet, or *even any research papers* mentioning these tools. It's very strange, but you can directly verify this fact on Google: no images, no scientific paper. So, my question: do these artifacts really exist? Where are they? Are there pictures of them? Does anyone know anything about it? I wrote several times to the museums of Windhoek, Namibia, but they never answered: really funny! I hope to receive some useful information from you. Many thanks for your kind attention. Best regards from Rome. Paolo Conte (IMCA #6037), Rome, Italy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I believe it was nicknamed "The Crocodile."
