strange rock found in Denmark

[sandor139]

This rock is for 'still' the stick 'perpendicularly', to lit a fire.

[patrick8065]

heeeeey flot sten du har fundet dig der! ;D

[dragonwoow]

Probably an ancient lighter to make fire dents are probably caused by friction.

[HydrocephalusTube]

It's an old grinding stone, for grinding spices, maybe for grinding colorful petals into a paste for paint.

[PoianaMarco]

Hvor har du fundet den? Den er da meget flot, og værdifuld måske?

[Minoque77777]

@PoianaMarco den er fundet i Kogens Lyngby i en udgravning til noget el ledninger, værdien er i øjet af iagtageren

[syrenante]

just an ancient lighter

[lazykitty88]

i know what it is im a person that collects native american artifacs its quite simpol its a nuting stone what they would of used it for it they would grind down nuts and some times corn

[jensbond1978]

It's a flour grinder

[lucypucy12222]

its a fossile! very shure of it

[thegreatone582]

i think its a grinder i have found few of them..

[xXGodOfRock1995Xx]

its and indian grinder they used to put dried corn in the middle hole and grid it

[irishbreakfast]

you have an ancient tool there.probably for rounding out bone or wood ends for making stuff.

[IndianaJesusfreak]

I don't know what it is, but I wouldn't mess with the guy who squeezed it between his finger and his thumb.

[MrThrobbo]

It appears to a metate.Well,thats what they're called in the southwest US. It's used ,with a pestle,to grind up things that require grinding. Then you use this to grind them. With a grindular motion.

[jvidell]

It looks like it is used when using a fire bow for starting fires. It is used to hold the spindle in place.

[mreinstein12345]

Hi monique,

that rock is actually unfinished.

Back in the 16th century, the chinese would dig holes in rocks

so that they resemble donuts and use them to anchor their

fishing nets in place. This one you have is obviously unfinished.

Rocks like this have been found as far as jamaica but

weighing up to 400 pounds (170 kilo) being used as anchors.

Metal ones were not being used yet.

[donandroz]

it also could be a tool in the drillings of holes using a hard wood shard on something softer yo bore a holeused commonly in building boats

[coldshot5555]

it's for starting or making FIRE the stick and kindeling go in the hole, a BOW is used to spin the stick to creat friction

[gtq838]

natural formation probably. out of billions of rocks law of averages says some will look designed.

[hackerhater]

looks like caveman money

[xXMeecrobXx]

this can be a dinosaur egg how we know lizards have eggs with a soft shell so the bump in it can be explained

[thomas242007]

in america rock finds you

[Truthnadv1]

you can send that to the kansas meteorite association for testing, you can find them here, kansasmeteoriteassociation(dot­)weebly(dot)com good luck

[eddiarts]

Det er helt klart noget meget gammelt, måske til at knuse kryderier, eller som nævnt en ildstarter... men fin er den dag

[matane993]

@matthewcod96 . wel what whud i write then ?

[Thunderhook715]

it was used for grind Herbs and Spices food and medicine

[matane993]

@ozzymann . o realy am i ? are i realy a idiote? what do you all other youtube pepel say? ar a aptemt to get one to ounder stand that history is a extremly important and fragile thing that you ar forbidden to SELL OR GIVE away ? well in sweden danmark norway and finland can you get trown in to jail fore 5 to 10 years and be forsed to pay ower 30.000 $+ our history is still not fully uncowred and is extremly fragile. exept usa's history is not hard to get. theres is builded on murde and slavery.

[matthewcod96]

@matane993 "are i realy a idiote?" best quote ever.

[matane993]

@LanaV6 and Minoque77777 . for the first . i think it is a stone thats was used 500-1100ac to light fires and if dat is the chase LanaV6 so is it nordich history item and by LAW has he/she to turne it in to a museum . so he/she ar FORBIDDEN to give it away or to sell it to any one. by keping it ar he/she breaking a history law and can get jail or be forsed to pay allot of money. and by selling it to some one ar ewen worser. nordic history is precheus since not mutch of dat time has been founded.

[Minoque77777]

@matane993 actually they wasn't interestet, i asked them

[ozzymann]

@matane993 you´re an idiot

[KRYPTICSAINT1]

@matane993 thats crap...if the nordich historians want it then they better credit the person who found it in the first place

[HaziqGatchy01]

it looks like a really unusual material land on it?

[LanaV6]

That is pretty cool rock. Do u still have it? i love unusual rocks. I have one myself. Mostly pink and a very light green. Thank you Minoque77777

[Minoque77777]

@LanaV6 yes i still have it, along whit all my other more normal looking stones :)

[blitz7341]

its a fossilized donut

[l0chis]

probably an ancient rock! meteorites are mostly black and full of thumb-holes. to be honest it reminds me an ancient Greek tool that was used to brake the fibers of animal leather!

[StreetDina]

Its a mescaline grinder , the ancient danish crackers use to get smashed for days .

[StreetDina]

forstenet søpindsvin er mit bedste bud .

[DEwEEdaPOOPiE]

its a herb;) grinder

[harhey]

Its a nutting stone used to crack nutts like acorns walnuts pecans and so - on. Native americans used them during the Archaic and Woodland era . They were a common find in my home area.

[cabo02]

Its a stone used to mash something with a long time ago. Similar to native american grinding stones. Nice find.

[alpha0634]

Ta roche , tu peux te la mettre ou je pense. Les gens comme toi font en sorte que le côté scientifique de la chose n'est plus pris au sérieux. Lorsque j'essais de voir des commentaires intelligents, je tombe toujours sur des imbécilités comme la tienne et cela me fait perdre du temps.

[socue521]

Fandt du den i KBH, Jylland eller fyn?

[Minoque77777]

@socue521 der mangler ligesom nogle landsdele at vælge imellem, så du er nok jyde :). men den er fundet i kongens lyngby.

[socue521]

@Minoque77777 Godt gættet :)

[GAROmx]

i am an aztek viking.

[11592Mike]

it is a indian tool that was used to grind up berrys and stuff like that to make cave paints

[TheHarpsichordist1]

It is a petrified man's ball

[incongra]

Isn't it a firestarter? - they put a stick in the hole and rotate it fast with a bow. Then when it gets hot they add small twigs etc.

[sandor139]

(This is banal!) C'mon guys!! This rock was uses to 'calm down'. If some person is extremely mad to the world or people, he take's the stone and "rubbing his thumb against a stone". This stone was probably belong to prisoner, wizard or sorcerer cause stone was also intended to pray.

[Hotfries6671]

if theres no hole in a parachute it dimples at the top,thats why theres a hole,my guess is its a meteorite that allmost burnt up but didnt

[er00ik]

its a crushing stone i quess ;3

[ilikecheese866]

noget fra et smykke måske?

[TBVnBIX]

omg thats so educating! I can stare at that piece of rock all day SRSLY

[iban923]

interesting "rolling stone".......

[AngeloProduction]

mmmmm, donuts.

[ianusher12]

its for removing dead skin from your feet.

[armo4life90]

i found a rock like that in Colorado except it floats.

[31princessmariah]

what the heck is wrong with it anyway ? ! ? Right ! ? !

[fyttr999]

thats a rock that a person heted and cooled a long time ago a probably doug it up:\

[holycrapitstowlie]

It's a rock to start fires. Not strange. I have one.

[j0s3ph1997]

This is very interesting. I would have to say it looks like an alien ate a martian donought, and took a crap. JK! But it kinda looks like a rock that had a weird erosian problem.

[simonqwadjke]

@icouldcareless666 Yea why not.. old people can have visions too ;P

[( simon from denmark :D )]

[lafther210]

cold hace been some sort of mace.

[buckfushes]

It could be a stone used in firemaking? A stone placed at the top of a wood shaft to apply pressure to your friction stick. I've found similar stones at native american sites.

[jheffyut]

kool rock

[herrolusa]

whatta hell he doing,t

[22tankr]

it's an antique back massager lol.

[mwillblade]

Unfinished head of a stone club .

[Bhostguster]

Jeg har selv fundet en tilsvarende sten, dog kun med hul på den ene side. Så vidt jeg er orienteret er det en skålsten i "lommeformat". Altså en form for amulet fra senneolitisk tid (yngre stenalder/ældre bronze alder).

[bionicbeatboy]

There is my mull bowl!!

[cruxan007]

looks like bearing stone to start fire.

[deanrys]

small mill stone used for herbs

[dustnrust]

I think it might be a bearing for a stone age drill. It holds the axle in place as a bow turns it.

[triskut]

This is a pestle like motor and pestle it would be used for grinding things on to fine powders...medicine...paints

Good find!

[bcmagician]

scrap that its a ax head

[bcmagician]

its a bronze age tool to grind stuff like pestel and mortor

[ANZIANI1]

prheistoric homer simpsoncould be near

[smokerj4life]

nccgondo is right i have one too

[funnyvidzrus2]

I'm not sure but these can be used as primitive tools such as cracking things open, and use it on alot of stuff to survive in the wild, it may be very old and worth something, not sure

[texasmetaldetector]

I have seen a couple of stones just like it but in the southwest (US) , i think someone called it "sex stone" , not sure if its accurate but its what i heard from some Native Americans...

[declaration963]

it's a donuts, a thousand years donuts. now it's like a fossil LOL

[more4mag]

That is simillar to a North American Plains Indian hammer head that my grand-dad found on the farm in southern Saskatchewan Canada. Thanks for sharing.

[lyue1996]

An offer to the Gods?

En offer til Guderne?

[camivette]

it could be a small quern-stone meant for grinding, id show it to an archaeologist.

[nccgondo]

It's a stone age nutcracker.

Common in Japanese Jomon era.

I have exactly same stones.

[omgcancer]

prehistoric bagel.

[iuzarneim]

LOL where is the prehistoric spread?

[Videobaschtl33]

maybe its an alien remote control ^^

[evilhandofgod]

stone age butt plug, nice find.

[pwh66]

det har været brugt til en bore mekanisme med en pind med skarp kniv for og i den anden ende bruge du stenen til at presse boret ned med mens du drejer pinden rundt

[videouzleg]

Typical ancient stone tool. Possibly you clean a hide with that which means pre cotton era.

[CarmineXCog]

it looks like theres two finger marks that r pushed in i think it was from indians or something?

[Laughingbear1960]

They do occasionaly find artifacts in the States that are thought to be from Scandanavia or from regions there about, so is it that far fetched an idea that it may of been brought back? Show me a european tool or weapon that this would match.

[NJP1111]

ash tray for indians?

[SomeoneNiceD13]

it's an unfinished part of a viking weapon, you know vikings once lived in denmark ?

[Minoque77777]

i know vikings lived in scandinavia and england, i am one :)

[pedskon]

yeah, Denmark were also the rulers of England once and had a large part of sweden and Norway.

[Minoque77777]

then we lost it all, all we have left is greenland, and that is not for long

[TheRockinCactus]

Why would Denmark lose Greenland?

[Ghostanti1]

@SomeoneNiceD13 I agree on the weapon part, Its that or a tool it couldnt be erosion of water dripplets since its on both sides, the rocks shape gives me the thought of maybe they were working it into a hammer?

[Laughingbear1960]

after watching more carefully the tape and seeing the not so round shape of the stone it may be a nutting stone. (an aid to cracking nuts)

[Laughingbear1960]

Im an amateure archaeologist and that looks like a Native American discoidal or what is called a chunky stone. They were used in a special game known to be played in the midwestern U.S.

[shafermen]

Native American lol it was found in denmark

[Rawlinson18]

Looks like a fire starting stone that keeps the stick in place.

[Minoque77777]

fordybningerne har tydelige værktøjsmærker, så den er jo ikke naturligt forkommende

[Thrym865]

Det kunne muligvis være et æggebæger fra stenalderen. Men den ser lidt brændt ud, synes jeg. Den kan eventuelt have været brugt i en bage- eller smedeproces.

[edstar83]

looks old. keep it

[Minoque77777]

I will but would still like to know what it is ?

[Scales35]

Its a petrified boiled egg lol

[Minoque77777]

hehe
