Sterkfontein Caves

So we went to the  Sterkfontein Caves this past Saturday which are like. caves. They hold some of the oldest known bones of the earliest forms of people found. It's a world heritage site which means that the site has cultural or natural importance to the common heritage of humanity. Since they kind of show the start of humanity they made it onto the list.

Before we went there was a mini display/museum type thing.  It talked about like the history of mankind and the history of the caves and the bones they discovered there. What was really cool was that they showed skulls through various times as they've change and went up all the way to today. 

Eyebrows used to stick out like crazzzzzy

We went and got to go through one of the caves. It was so cool. like so so cool. We got to go crawling around through caves. I get how some people would not be the biggest fan since it was dark and every now and then you had to kind of crawl to get through. But I thought it was awesome. Anyway here are some photos. Naturally they don't really show how awesome it was. Also it was harder then I thought when we left the cave to figure out like, what the pictures were. So some could be ceiling or wall or upside down and I really have no clue.

We got there by using cabs for women. The cabs were....quite pink.

And here we go into the caves.

 The caves!

There was this one area they called the elephant area because one of the rock formations that came from the ceiling looked like an elephant. Do you see it?

This is where the lake in the cave is. You can't see it, but there is def water where everything looks black. It is apparently very deep. It also works as natural air conditioning :)

The crazy peeps I was exploring with.

A current site where they are excavating.

The view outside the caves. Just as beautiful.
