A brief thread
We find such sites all across the country.
In this thread, let us know a little bit about 5 such unique sites.
(Not to be confused with BORI - we are old, but that old)
One of the oldest pieces of evidence of humans in India, reported artefacts from Bori suggest the existence of humans in India around 1.4 million years ago.
But the most amazing part is that -
Eruptions of Mount Toba over the millennia are believed to be extremely influential catalyst events in earth's history.
A densely concentrated complex of 200 odd sites, Isampur excavation uncovered a human settlement that is approximately 11 lakh years old site.
At Isampur, ancient man-made tools made from the bedrock can be found.
Odisha offers rich and diverse archaeological sites from various pre-historic eras.
One of such places, a chalcolithic site of Suabarei, is unique because many elephant bones are found here.
Situated on the banks of Ganga, the Agiyabir site shows evidence of a Neolithic human settlement that carried out subsistence fishery.
Pit-dwelling site is a peculiar type of settlement. In such sites, we find that ancient man dug pits of 3 to 5 meters in diameter in the ground for occupation.
These are found in places that experience harsh winters.

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹
I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):
The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹
Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹
References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
