Israeli archaeologists have uncovered the remains of a prehistoric building in Tel Aviv, estimated to be 7,800-8,400 years old.

The building, the oldest ever found in the Tel Aviv area, was exposed during an archaeological excavation conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority. The excavation was carried out prior to the construction of an apartment building in the “Green Fichman” project in Ramat Aviv.

Ancient artifacts discovered there are believed to be between 13,000 and 100,000 years old.
