Oldest Skull Found in Middle East

          Years and years of painstaking lab research and analysis have proved that this skull is in fact 55,000 years old.  Archaeologists found this skull seven years ago but just recently discovered the age .  The skull was found in a cave that was said to have closed about 30,000 years ago.  Due to the collapse of the cave the skull was able to be protected from conflicts that occurred outside of the cave.  The skull was specifically located in the Manot Cave of Western Galilee.  Then according to  Dr. Omry Barzilai of the antiques authority, the 55,000-year-old skull is "one of the most important discoveries in the study of human evolution."  The archaeologists also said they are working hard to find more and unearth past secrets.
