5,000-Year-Old Whale Harpoons Found in Brazil

Scientists found very old harpoons in Brazil that were used to hunt whales a long time ago.

These harpoons are about 5,000 years old and are the oldest evidence of whale hunting ever found.

People back then used these harpoons to catch big whales, which gave them lots of food and useful things like whale oil.

The harpoons were made from whale bones and wood, and they had special parts to help catch the whales.

This discovery shows that ancient people in South America were very good at hunting big sea animals.
