Chagyrskaya Cave, Archaeological cave in Altai Mountains, Russia
The cave extends 35 meters into the hill with an entrance featuring an 8-meter wide stone bench at the left bank of Sibiryachikha River.
Excavations since 1984 have uncovered over 6000 animal remains and numerous stone tools dating between 33,000 and 44,000 years ago.
DNA analysis of fossils found in the cave indicates a connection between local Neanderthal populations and western Neanderthal groups.
The cave requires specialized permits and climbing equipment to access due to its location 14 meters above the river valley.
The site contains multiple interconnected cavities where researchers discovered evidence of shared spaces between early humans and cave hyenas.
