500,000 year old site discovered in Israel

Just off Israeli highway, 500,000-year-old site found

Israeli archaeologists announced Sunday they have uncovered a rare site dating back some half a million years -- just next to a modern highway and only several metres underground.

Archaeologists envision the site at Jaljulia, northeast of Tel Aviv, as a sort of "paradise" for prehistoric hunter-gatherers, with a stream, vegetation and an abundance of animals.

They have uncovered hundreds of flint handaxes as part of the dig just next to Route 6, one of Israel's busiest highways, the Israel Antiquities Authority said.
"It's hard to believe that between Jaljulia and highway 6, five metres below the surface, an ancient landscape some half of a million years old has been so amazingly preserved," Ran Barkai, head of Tel Aviv University's archaeology department, which participated in the dig, said in a statement.

He added that "for people, it was like a paradise, so they came here again and again."

The site is associated with homo erectus, a direct ancestor of today's humans.

Holy cow. I cant believe we actually found something that old.

I am surprised that stuff is still around to look at at that age..

Holy cow. I cant believe we actually found something that old.

I didn't know homo erectus was smart enough to make complicated tools like axes. The more we dig, the more our understanding of the human race will change. We've been around a long time and probably been a lot more technologically "advanced" at some points than humans get credit for. All without the help of aliens.

If wars and conquest had not destroyed cultures and knowledge we would probably be much more advanced...

What makes you think aliens weren’t involved? Don’t you ever watch the history channel?

Probably so, no Stars of David were unEarthed though...

 

[JoeMoma]

Egypt is kind of close to Isreal.

 

[Moonglow]

What amazes me is their knowledge of the stars and planets with only using the naked eye, well it does have some moisture on it...
