RE: Just why is the Rising Star Cave in the Cradle of Humankind becoming one of the most important finds to date?

in #origins7 years ago

I have been to Maroepeng 3 times. Twice with family and once on a school trip. The discoveries being made are quite incredible. My last trip was shortly after the announcement of the Rising Star hollow...

Sort:  

Maropeng is great, but its even better exploring the many caves in the are that are not commercialized.

You have no idea how badly I would love to do that! I live about 2 hours away...

Which direction?

I am in Witbank, Mpumalanga... 140 Km East of pretoria.

Good geology out that way, Karroo beds have nice fossils, I found fossil tracks in the Sand stones when working at the power stations like Kriel and Ermelo
