Maszycka Cave, Archaeological cave near Krakow, Poland.
The cave entrance stands at 320 meters above sea level along the Pradnik River, featuring natural limestone formations and multiple chambers.
Archaeological excavations from 1883 revealed human remains of 16 individuals and tools dating back to the Magdalenian period, 17,500 years ago.
The discovered artifacts include reindeer antler tools with symbolic carvings, representing the largest collection of Palaeolithic Magdalenian art in Poland.
The cave location is accessible through marked hiking trails in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, with guided tours available during warmer months.
Evidence found in the cave suggests prehistoric cannibalism, with human bones showing tool cuts, breaks, and teeth marks from other humans.
