- Petralona Cave - Located 50 km from Thessaloniki, Petralona Cave was discovered by villagers searching for groundwater. In 1960, a skull of a man aged between 25-35 years was found, considered quite old for the primitive era. This skull is of an archanthropus, a transitional form between Homo erectus and Homo sapiens neandertalensis. It is a significant anthropological find, though experts have not reached a unanimous classification. Paleoanthropologist Aris Poulianos suggests the skull belonged to a man who lived 700,000 years ago, with fire traces dating back 700,000-1,000,000 years, the oldest discovered on earth. Numerous stone and bone tools were also found, along with fire traces used for warmth and cooking.
