Description:

The Hula Valley Prehistoric Museum is famous not only in Israel, but all over the world. The exhibits of his collections are diverse. Some of them are hundreds of thousands of years old. They are made of stone, wood, silicon, bone.

The first objects were discovered by accident in 1946. A detachment of soldiers arrived here for service, and their first find was a silicon axe, thanks to which further exploration of the area and expansion of the collection began. Archaeologist Amnon Athos played an important role in this work. Today in the museum you can see the skeletons of ancient people who lived 12 thousand years ago, the remains of a dog, dishes, clothes, jewelry, stone axes (more than eight thousand) and others.

There are modern and prehistoric exhibits that attract tourists. All the items were found in Kibbutz Maayan Baruch in memorial caves.
