Head towards the grand Tumulus building that houses the exhibition and transport yourself back in time.

Here in amongst the large masses of rock lies fossils that date back as far as 4 billion years. The famous
Mrs Ples and Little foot are amongst those fossils found that have given scientists a lot of information about how us,
Homo Sapiens came to be.
