Asfendou cave
Asfendou cave is located near the village Asfendou in province Sfakia, in Crete, Greece on July 28, 2020. This small cave since in 1960 engraved Paleolithic rock carvings were discovered on the floor near the entrance, on a stalagmite-plate, engraved with primitive tools. They were accidentally discovered by the priest Georgios Chiotakis, while hunting. There are two different theories about their age. The first date them around 2000 BC while the second supports that they are up to 8000 BC. They were probably drawn by hunters who used the place as a hideout or the cave was a sacred place for hunting. (Photo by Nikolas Kokovlis/NurPhoto)
