Out-of-place & Out-of-time: This Aluminium Object is 250.000 Years Old

This aluminium object, that appears to be handmade was found in Romania and is said to be 250.000 years old. Metallic aluminium was not really produced by mankind until around 200 years ago. The details of the discovery were never made public at the time because it was pulled out of the earth in communist Romania in 1973. Testing has since revealed that the object is made of 12 metals and is 90 per cent aluminium with Romanian officials dating it as being 250,000 years old. The chunk of metal was found alongside two ancient fossils on the shores of the Mures River not far from the central Romanian town of Aiud found three objects 10 metres (33 feet) under the ground. The object is 20 centimetres (7.8 inches) long, 12.5 centimetres (4.9 inches) wide and 7 centimetres (2.8 inches) thick. What puzzled experts is that the piece of metal has concavities that make it look as if it was manufactured as part of a more complex mechanical system.
