Wonderwerk Cave, Archaeological site near Kuruman, South Africa.
The cave extends horizontally for 140 meters into a hillside, containing sediment layers that document natural and human activities through millennia.
Archaeological excavations since the 1940s have revealed evidence of human occupation dating back approximately two million years in this limestone formation.
The first 40 meters of the cave contain rock paintings and engraved stones from the Later Stone Age, representing ancient artistic expressions.
Visitors can access the site via the Kuruman-Danielskuil road, located 45 kilometers south of Kuruman, with self-catering accommodation available on the premises.
Research at the cave has uncovered what scientists identify as the earliest controlled fire site, marking a crucial point in human development.
