The mummified remains of a child who lived about 6,000 years ago and fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls have been discovered at a legendary site in Israel known as the âCave of Horror.â Archaeologists also found a 10,000-year-old woven basket â believed to be the oldest of its kind â as well as a trove of ancient coins and clothing in the cave, which can only be reached by rappelling down a sheer cliff. The Israel Antiquities Authority called the discoveries in the Judaean Desert âastoundingâ when it announced the find this week.Â
