Theopatra Cave

Nestled atop a limestone hill near the village of Theopetra, the Theopatra Cave, which looks like any ordinary cave, is made of nothing more than rocks and dirt. However, this cave reveals a storied past of human civilization in the form of a man-made wall (built for protection from the cold winds during the Ice Age). In fact, researchers estimated that humans began living in the cave 130,000 years ago, during the Middle Paleolithic era. The cave also revealed human life around the Neolithic period, acting as an archeological time capsule!

Location: Meteora, Thessaly, Greece
