Massive 5,000 Year Old Burial Monument Unearthed in Kenya

Researchers have unearthed a massive 5000-year-old burial monument in Kenya. The monument was unearthed in Lothagam Valley in Turkana.
The cemetry is the largest and oldest ever unearthed in Eastern Africa. The cemetry is approximately 30metres in diameter with a deep cavity
that hosted about 580 bodies. The bodies of men, women and children were laid side by side and were dressed in similar and very elaborate ornaments. The ornaments found in the burial site included pendants and earrings made of ostrich eggshells and stones. The area, known to locals as Lothagam, is littered with stone tools, harpoon tips, pottery, and animal remains that offer a glimpse into prehistoric life in Africa
