The discovery of the ape-man cave in Tangshan Town is another major archaeological breakthrough after Yunmou in Yunnan, Lantian in Shaanxi, Zhoukoudian in Beijing and Hexian ape-man in Anhui. After 1995, it became a tourist attraction open to tourists. There is a huge karst cave group in Leigong Mountain in the west of Tangshan Town. The total area of karst caves has reached tens of thousands of square meters. At present, Leigong Cave and Hulu Cave have been opened to tourists. 1March 1993 13 A relatively complete fossil of ancient human skull was unearthed in Hulu Cave, which attracted the attention of the world. Archaeologists have found more than ten kinds of animal fossils here. According to scientific appraisal, this is the Nanjing ape-man who was born about 300,000 years ago, which advanced the human history in Nanjing by more than 200,000 years. At the same time, it is also confirmed that the Yangtze River basin is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. There are more than ten kinds of fossils found in Huludong, such as swollen bone deer and sika deer. Most of these animals grew in the Middle Pleistocene 65.438+0.5 billion years ago. Tangshan Ape Cave Scenic Area can be divided into six parts: the cliff carved spring landscape at the entrance, the ancient human stone carving garden at the foot of the mountain, the ancient human historical materials exhibition hall, the cliff carved ape-man landscape at the entrance of the site, the natural cave landscape and the bamboo garden leisure area. According to Professor Zhu's vision, it will become a "stone park" for Nanjing and even the whole country to display ancient humans. The funnel-shaped gap that was originally exposed on the stone cliff became a natural relief stone wall. According to the field investigation, the head-shaped stone on the stone wall will be slightly chiseled to become 4-5 "Nanjing ape-man" heads. Unlike Mount Presidential in the United States, the ape-man head avoids the trace of an axe and blends with natural rocks. In addition, at the top of the cave, there are two or three bronze statues of giant ape-man hunting as giant symbols of ape-man cave. Throughout the scenic area, stone age architectural sketches such as huts, stone tools, nests and caves can be seen everywhere, full of historical sense.
