Boomerang made out of wood. Boomerangs are probably the first heavier-than-air flying machine ever invented by human beings. In 1909 the Ngarrindjeri genius depicted on the Australian $50 note, David Unaipon, patented an invention for a rotary wing aircraft based on his study of boomerang aerodynamics. The oldest Australian Aboriginal boomerangs are ten thousand years old, but older hunting sticks have been discovered in Europe, where they seem to have formed part of the stone age arsenal of weapons. One boomerang that was discovered in a cave in the Carpathian Mountains in Poland was made of mammoth's tusk and is believed, based on AMS dating of objects found with it, to be about 30,000 years old. King Tutankhamun, the famous Pharaoh of ancient Egypt, who died over 3,000 years ago, owned a collection of boomerangs of both the straight flying (hunting) and returning variety.
