Scientists discover lost world beneath the ocean
140,000 years old Homo Erectus Bones Discovered on Drowned Land in Indonesia

Scientists have uncovered a remarkable piece of history beneath the ocean floor near Indonesia. Fossilized remains of Homo erectus, an ancient human ancestor, have been found buried under layers of silt and sand in the Madura Strait.
The submerged land where these fossils were found was once part of Sundaland, a vast tropical plain that connected Southeast Asia before rising sea levels swallowed it. Experts believe this is the first physical evidence of life in this lost world. For years, Sundaland was just a theory. Now, the bones tell a different story.
