Description
This program takes us back to the origins of the technical tool with an Acheulean-type biface discovered at El-Mekta. This piece of flint cut on both sides represents a major technological leap in ancient prehistory (Paleolithic). The illustration highlights the symmetry and precision of the size, arranged against a dynamic red and green geometric background. This stamp celebrates human intelligence and the emergence of technical thought on Tunisian soil, recalling that the country was one of the first laboratories for the evolution of humanity's tools.
