Theopetra Cave is an ancient cave just 3Km South of Kalampaka, Greece. The ~500M2 of chamber has deposits nearly 6.5M thick where the remains of animals have been dated 70,000BC to 3000BC. Neanderthal footprints, and human remanins among other evidence has been found since excavation began in 1987, and still continues. The discovery is believed to be the oldest in Greece. It contains evidence showing that it may have been inhabited much earlier with some even suggesting as early as 110,000BC. A visitor center has been recently built, and site improvements continue.
