Based on research, it has been determined that the cave was used as a habitation site approximately 500,000 years ago.
In subsequent excavations, artifacts from later periods have also been obtained, including the discovery of bones of animals such as elephants and hippos.
The cave, which hosts numerous visitors each year, creates a feeling of wandering in another world with its corridors, hollows, passages, and especially the various-sized holes, colors, patterns, and shapes formed on its walls.
It is also possible to observe the work of archaeologists at the entrance of the cave, which offers a unique plain view.
