MTV welcome to the caveman’s crib:📺 russellcavenps. Human ancestors have called this Alabama park home since an estimated 12,000 – 11,000 years ago. Because of how many cultures and communities called Russel Cave home, it is now known to be one of the oldest rock shelters in the eastern United States! With its stunning rock formations and underground wonders, you'll feel like you've gone back in time to the Stone Age. #Cave #Alabama #AlabamaParks #StoneAge #History #Archeology #South #NationalMonument #RockShelters #Archeologist #Dig 📸: nationalparkservice Image: Looking at the outside foliage of the cave shelter from inside.
