Our Mission


Without a magical time machine that would transport us back through history, allowing us to interview our earlier ancestors, we are left with only "clues" of our past.  The study of prehistoric, as well as ancient tools and weapons allows us to enter the mind of Primitive Man and gives us a glimpse of 'a day in the life' long ago.  Perhaps in analysis, we may come to understand that despite leaps and bounds in technology, very little has changed in Man's thoughts.

It is our mission to present tools and weapons discovered in locations around the globe from all time periods (Lower Paleolithic through the Iron Age), in an objective format and one easy to navigate.  The exhibition of these tools and weapons has resulted in consolidation of data taken from specimens scattered abroad in obscure public and private collections.  We have assembled these rare items in one single, valuable reference source online.  It is in this effort we hope, that your thoughts are stimulated and we, in a sense, HAVE created the "time machine" for you through the display of these wonderful objects of our ancient and prehistoric past.
