What is the oldest human-created artifact that has mattered to you?(west civ proj)

The oldest human created artifact that matters to me is the bible. The bible matters to me because it is the primary source of information about the life of jesus. It recorded his teaching and miricles so that futuer christians whould be able to learn about him. It aslo showes peole haw to achieve slavation and do good works. It gives us moral guidlines.
