It is very interesting to see that geoarchaeologist Abdeljalil Bouzouggar of Morocco’s National Institute of Archaeological and Heritage Sciences and Silvia Bello of London’s Natural History Museum refer to Aterian culture of the Middle Stone Age when they discovered a 90,000 thousand-years bone knife from Morocco’s coastal Dar es-Soltan 1 cave(Rabat). The news has been published by Archaeological News(4.10.2018) and the latter quoted it from the Science News. A similar knife was found in southern Africa also.
What this Aterian culture is all about? Aterian is as same as Wutu or Uta, and this name has been reflected in some of the inscriptions which connect this land with Tanu and Selu or Sheloh. Name of Atara is also seen in the Avesta where it is seen as ‘fire’. To see Morocco’s excavation site at Rabat with Aterian culture is a mistake. It is a second settlement after the Flood.
