This skeleton is so old that his bones are now fused to the wall of a cave - There

about 150,000 years, a prehistoric man fell into a pit and he died of starvation. ..but it's just where her story began.

For thousands of years, the bones of the man slowly merged with the walls of surrounding caves. The skeleton of the "Altamura Man" is now a Holy Grail of sorts for anthropologists and archaeologists because it contains the oldest Neanderthal DNA evidence.

In Lamalunga, which is near the Italian town of Altamura is a gulf which holds a fascinating secret -. the skeleton of a man who died 150,000 years ago

In Lamalunga, which is near the Italian city of Altamura, lies a sinkhole that holds a fascinating secret -- the skeleton of a man who died 150,000 years ago.

The bones were found in 1993, but they had already been in the limestone cave for thousands of years by that point. As the water flowed, formed stalactites and fused bones at the wall.

This is an incredibly important discovery researchers, because the DNA of the Altamura Man is still well preserved. In fact, it is the oldest sample of Neanderthal DNA ever sequenced! I guess sinkholes are good for something after all.
