Description

The Apidima cave is located in Southern Greece and was discovered in the 1970s. Since 2019, the site has gained a lot of significance due to its contribution in world history. More specifically, human skulls that were found in the cave have indicated that human populations arrived in Eurasia much earlier that originally hypothesized, a difference of around 150,00 years. New age technologies were used to date these findings, such as extremely accurate radiometric dating techniques. Taking this into account, this site makes significant contributions of the UN's 4th sustainable development goal, "Quality Education". The site has helped deepen our understanding of our world history and has been a tremendous addition to world education.
