Ancient Tomb Reveals Six-Fingered Neolithic Woman
9,000-year-old tomb near Jerusalem holds six-fingered woman’s remains.
Archaeologists uncovered a 9,000-year-old Neolithic tomb in Motza, near Jerusalem, containing the remains of a woman over 15 years old with six fingers on her left hand.
Buried with pearl jewellery, stone necklaces, and ritual beads, she may have held a spiritual role, possibly as a shaman.
The Israel Antiquities Authority notes the tomb offers insight into ancient community rituals.
