Archaeologists in central Israel are excavating one of the world’s oldest known burial sites, dating back 100,000 years. The site, Tinshemet Cave, contains remarkably preserved remains of early humans, carefully arranged and with what are likely ceremonial objects. Experts believe this site showcases a significant shift in how early humans treated their dead and thought about spirituality and the afterlife. Researchers are still studying whether the remains belong to Neanderthals, Homo sapiens, or a hybrid population.
