1,700-Year-Old Musical Instrument Found, and It Still Works
The mouth harp was recently discovered in the Altai Mountains region of Russia and still makes music after well over a millennium.

An ancient mouth harp discovered in Russia delighted archaeologists when they confirmed that it could still make a sound.

The instrument was one of five mouth harps discovered by archaeologists at two sites, Chultukov Log 9 and Cheremshanka, in the mountainous Altai Republic region of south-central Russia.

This is VERY cool!


I wonder how long my French Horn will last (the old one my Dad bought used for me in 1963). 

Bet it's not still around in 2180.  :laugh:

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.
