During the excavations of the Mezinsky parking of a primitive man (now the Koropsky district of the Chernihiv region), which existed about 20 thousand years ago and has no equal in the world, among other interesting finds (objects of art and tools), the spatula decorated with ocker patterns were discovered, Thigh, pelvis, two lower jaws and part of the mammoth skull. This interesting set was first demonstrated to participants in the archaeological congress, which took place in Chernigov in 1908. But for a long time, the appointment of these six bones embarrassed the minds of researchers. Only in the 70s, the Kiev archaeologist Sergei Bibikov noticed that there were traces of strikes on the shoulder blade. It was found that on the bones they beat a hammer from the horn of the northern deer, which was also found in excavations.

The study of traces of strokes led to the idea that the bones could be used to extract sounds. To confirm this hypothesis, experts were attracted: archaeologists, paleontologists, pale vegetables, doctors, photo analysts, art historians. All of them unanimously came to a sensational conclusion: this complex is the only world -famous Paleolithic orchestra of percussion instruments. Thus, the Mezinsky find laid the foundation for the development of a new scientific direction - archaeological musicology. Step by step was led to the reconstruction of paleolithic music. A musician-teacher was invited to the Kiev Institute of Forensic Expertise, who, with the help of the “bones” of the fingers, carefully lost to different parts of the shoulder blades a stroke rhythmic motive, which was recorded on a magnetic tape. Then the last doubts were dispelled: strong, voiced sounds were obtained, quite distinct musical tones or timbres.

And a more detailed program for extracting sounds from the Mezinsky musical bones was carried out only after the restoration and conservation of them in the Leningrad Hermitage. On the instruments prepared in this way, the team of musicians-attendants played a rhythmic melody, the score of which was developed taking into account the national northern rhythmic-dance ethnographic tradition. Thus, with a great degree of reliability, music was recreated, "written" in the era of the Paleolithic. The painstaking long -term work ended in 1980, when the well -known in the former union, the company "Melody" released a record with the reconstruction of the sound of an ancient orchestra.

Unique exhibits are stored in the funds of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, sometimes demonstrated at large -scale exhibitions.

By the way, to date, three flutes of 30-37 thousand years found in the territory of modern Germany are considered the oldest musical instruments. The flutes were made of swan bones.
