Avshalom Cave (Hebrew: מערת אבשלום), also known as Soreq Cave (Arabic: مغارة سوريك) or Stalactites Cave (Hebrew: מערת הנטיפים), is a 5,000 m2 cave on the western side of Mt.Ye'ela, in the Judean hills, in Israel, unique for its dense concentration of stalactites. According to James Aronson, the American geologist known for calculating the age of the 3.2 million year old skeletal fossil, Lucy, the Soreq Cave Nature Reserve is the Rosetta stone of climate history in the Eastern Mediterranean.[1]
