Evidence includes the presence of a symbolically carved boulder in a prominent placement.

The cave was found accidentally when a bulldozer broke open its roof during construction in 2008 .

Archaeologists soon swooped in and recovered such artifacts as stone tools and a nearly complete human skull.
