Website discovery:

The site of Neanderthal culture was discovered in 1930, excavated in 1933 and 1934, and has been excavated. The bottom of cave culture is directly piled on the 1 floor of the "Peking Man" site. The hole at the top of the mountain faces north and was removed during excavation. The entrance to the north is dug by hand.

The cave site consists of four parts: the cave entrance, the human world, the lower room and the lower section. Human fossils and cultural relics were found in the first three sections, and only complete animal fossils were found in the lower section. Neanderthals mastered drilling and polishing technology, learned to sew clothes with bone needles, and learned to love beauty. Production activities include gathering, fishing and hunting, and people know how to be buried after death.
