Wonder
Mungo Lady
In short
Find of the oldest cremated human remains in the world. Contrary to the name it seems that here rests a male, who was cremated and sprinkled with red ocher some 41,000 (or even 42,000) years ago. This is the oldest use of ocher for burials in the world. The nearest find of the ocher is some 200 km from this site.
