    Archaeologists found in this cave a whole freight car full of bones, teeth and skulls of cave bears and lions. There are traces of Neanderthals and later of modern humans. Hunters, Romans, shepherds, robbers, all were here. The site that made the cave famous worldwide marks an upright sandbag. There archeologists dug out a few pieces of mammoth ivory in 2008. When they put these together, it became a figure with two large, pointed breasts. Ivory Venus is the oldest detailed image of a human ever found in the world.
