Ever heard of Transylvania? Apart from what you know for its count Dracula legends, the place is also home to one of the most ancient caves in the world. In one such place, the Ciur-Izbuc cave located in the Western Carpathians of Transylvania, Romania, was found to have more than 400 human foot-prints that are believed by scientists to be more than 36,000 years old. If this theory is true we might have opened gates towards new discoveries about the evolution of mankind.
Some of these prints have been erased by the effect of time and the rest might meet the same fate soon. So, if you want to have a look at one of the world’s oldest footprint, you might want to book a trip to Transylvania. Rest assured, no more Dracula there.
