Anyone who has ever encountered a four-year-old at any time would file this under "Most predictable thing to ever happen in human history."

Here's what happened:

A 3,500-year-old jar has been accidentally smashed into pieces by a four-year-old boy during a trip to a museum in Israel.

The Hecht Museum in Haifa told the BBC the crockery dated back to the Bronze Age between 2200 and 1500BC - and was a rare artefact because it was so intact.

It had been on display near the entrance of the museum without glass, as the museum believes there is 'special charm' in showing archaeological finds 'without obstructions'.

Live look at the museum employee who made that decision:

Here was the display before the incident:

And here's the unfortunate end result:

Well, it can't be undone now. Museum staff noted that though they sometimes involve the police where artifacts are mishandled and broken, in this case the jar "was accidentally damaged by a young child," and so the response will be understandably less severe.

The best part, meanwhile, might be the father's initial reaction to the destruction:

Alex also said he was 'in shock' to see his son next to the smashed jar and at first thought 'it wasn't my child that did it'.

We've all been there, dad, we feel you!
