Archaeological site at Gobero which is placed in the Eastern Sahara isn't going to change the history of the Stone Age man, or the history of settlement in North Africa.

But it illustrates how much amazing stuff can still be found out there in plain view on our planet's surface, waiting for the right person to discover another bit of history.

An international team of archaeologists unveiled discovers from few graveyards and settlements occupied at different times over a 5,000-year.

The site contains at least 200 burials and it was found in 2000 while archaeologists were looking for dinosaur bones.
