Grotte de Bruniquel - Archéologue au travailThe oldest human construction was discovered in Bruniquel, build 176 500 years ago. It consists of two circles formed by nearly 400 pieces of stalagmites carefully cut, calibrated and erected over 368 ft.
This place could be a place of worship build by the Neanderthal’s people. This discovery shatters our current knowledge of prehistory.
