Comments: For sale is this gigantic neolithic knife from ancient Denmark. This enigmatic and absolutely huge stone knife was expertly knapped from a beautiful piece of flint with a handle like a modern saw. The only issue is, a person would have to be massive to be able to use this tool effectively, given it's immense size and considerable weight. Maybe there is something to all these giant myths form antiquity afterall...it certainly helps explain the megalithic structures. The enigmatic neolithic danish culture were megalithic builders that left behind their incredibly massive ancient megalithic dolmens and passage graves all over the country.
This would make a wonderful addition to your collection! This is an authentic ancient stone knife from Denmark. Unfortunately the previous owner only knew that about it as they purchased it in Denmark and it was sold to them as such a long time ago. The piece, like everything we sell is guaranteed to be so for life, or your money back.
The Neolithic period covers the era 3900-1700 BC. The hunting people in Denmark had long had contact with the farming societies in central Europe, but only around 3900 BC the hunters began to till the land and keep animals. Wooded areas were cleared, burnt and replaced with fields of arable crops. Cattle, pigs and sheep appeared as domesticated animals. The big change was that people could produce their own food products. Coastal fishing was still good and therefore the farming population continued for a long time to hunt and fish from the old settlements on the coast.
The farmers’ grave monuments in the form of megalithic dolmens and passage graves were constructed all over Denmark. They can be seen still in many places in the Danish landscape. They included splendid flint axes, daggers and large collections of amber beads which were offered to the gods in hope of a good harvest.
