In a record-breaking discovery, archaeologists have uncovered the 29,000-year-old remains of a young child in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park in Thailand — the oldest human remains ever found in the country.
Unearthed from Tham Din cave, the child, who archaeologists nicknamed “Pangpond,” was discovered about 6.5 feet beneath the cave’s floor. The remains suggest that the child was about eight years old at the time of their death and had undergone a ritualistic burial.
The find has given researchers a peek into the cultural practices of prehistoric hunter-gatherers in the region, offering a rare glimpse into the mysterious lives of Stone Age humans in Southeast Asia.
