750-Year-Old Human Remains Found in Mizoram Cave
Imagine finding old bones in a cave!
That's what happened in Mizoram.
People found skeletons, parts of skulls, and old pottery.
Scientists used a special test called carbon dating to figure out how old the bones are.
They found out the bones are over 750 years old!
This means the people lived a very long time ago.
The scientists think these bones might help us learn more about the first people who lived in Mizoram.
They plan to do more tests to find out where these people came from and what they ate.
It's like a puzzle that helps us understand history!
