Misliya Cave, Archaeological cave in Mount Carmel, Israel
The Misliya Cave features several chambers within limestone formations, containing multiple archaeological layers that reveal patterns of early human habitation.
Archaeological excavations in 2002 uncovered a human jawbone dated between 177,000 and 194,000 years ago, indicating the presence of early Homo sapiens.
The discovery of flint tools and fossilized materials within the cave demonstrates the technological capabilities of early human populations in the Levant region.
Researchers and visitors can reach the cave through designated paths on Mount Carmel, with prior arrangements required due to ongoing archaeological studies.
The jawbone found in Misliya Cave represents the second oldest modern human remains discovered outside of Africa, after the Apidima skull from Greece.
