The ancient landscape has exposed the bones of people who lived 100,000 years ago

In Africa, archaeological research has uncovered human remains and traces of their life dating back about 100,000 years. This was reported on April 14 by the Planet Today portal.

"During the periodic but short—term settlements of this rich ecosystem, people shared a water basin with many animals," the publication quotes the words of a group of researchers.

It is noted that the finds were made in the Afar Rift Valley area in Ethiopia, where stone artifacts, animal remains and three partially preserved human skeletons were discovered. Scientists believe that the ancient landscape was exposed over time due to wind and water erosion, which is why the remains were identified.

The skeletons indicate different fates of ancient people: one could have been quickly buried, another was exposed to fire, and the third was attacked by wild animals. The study also showed that people used local resources to make tools and repeatedly returned to this area long before settling in Eurasia.

Egyptian scientists, together with international colleagues, have discovered a buried temple of the 26th dynasty of the pharaohs, about 2,600 years old, under the multi-layered Buto settlement, known today as Tel el-Farain, in the northwestern part of the Nile Delta. According to the measurements, at a depth of 3 to 6 m, the researchers recorded a distinct anomaly with rectangular contours.
