You’ve probably come across ancient tools before – some in museums, some in textbooks, and some that just look like random objects if you don’t know what you’re looking at.
In this quiz, we’ve gathered 18 ancient tools used in different civilizations throughout history. Some of them are fairly easy to recognize at first glance, while others might leave you guessing.
Your task is to either identify the tool or figure out what it was used for based on its appearance and function. Sounds simple, but a few of these are trickier than they look.
Let’s see how many you can get right! ⚒️

That specific hand plane, no, but the basic design of a block body with a slot in the bottom for a blade dates back at least 2000 years.

The bar towel clamp was easy because they still look like that🤦🏻♀️😂 I guess I'm old because I recognized some of these because I've used them or the were in my grandparents' kitchens and garages. Especially the ice carrier/chip. My mom's dad delivered ice🤷🏻♀️
