9 of the world’s most underrated archaeological sites - SilverKris

"Part of a region known as the Cradle of Humankind, these fossil-rich caves have yielded remains dating back millions of years, including an Australopithecus skeleton and ancient stone tools. Exhibits at the museum explain how discoveries from ongoing excavations helped reinforce the idea that human life began in Africa; visitors can also explore the dramatic, cathedral-like caves themselves to see the geological and archaeological context of these landmark finds." - Tamara Hinson
