Cave of Forgotten Dreams Page #6
as evidence,
the number of positions
the individual assumed
and his movements.
He started by crouching,
and then he stretched out
to reach all the way
to his highest palm prints.
This panel is comprised
who must have measured
roughly six feet tall.
A single human.
- 1 meter 80 tall, that's big.
Was it only one person?
- Une personne, une personne.
One person,
And you'll notice
on these prints
that there is
a very significant detail.
He has a slightly crooked
little finger.
And that's extraordinary,
because it gives
a physical reality
to a prehistoric individual
who, 32,000 years or more ago,
came to the cave before us.
And what is even more surprising
is that you'll find traces
of him deeper in the cavern.
We'll be able to recognize him
because he printed his hand
farther in the cave.
So we can follow
this man's path.
Madame Baffier
took us on a tour.
She serves as the custodian
of the cave,
and her rules of engagement
are strict
but entirely reasonable
given the precious
and fragile nature
of this unique place.
- You have cave bear tracks,
the forepaws and hind paws.
These are the longest
cave bear tracks
currently known in any cave.
It's very sparkly.
There are crystals
that glitter.
Here at this junction, we have
the panel of the panther.
You can see the drawing
of a panther,
which is the only one known
in Paleolithic wall painting
to date.
Here we've arrived at a place
where concretion growth
has been very important.
On the ground and walls,
you can see
have covered everything
in sparkling formation,
a kind of cascade...
With waves.
Here you have... - take a look... -
a bear vertebra
which is entirely coated
in calcite
and held by calcite crystals.
In front of us, on the wall,
you also have an overflowing
drapery-like concretion
and here a kind of niche
where you can see the traces
of ancient red paintings,
which have been washed away
by water seepage.
And this is where you find
extremely original images,
like this insect-shaped one
or this one shaped like
a butterfly
or a bird in flight,
that you also find
on this rock pendant
hanging from the ceiling
large and very small
coupled with two vertical
ocher stripes
that follow
the pendant's contours.
So here we are in front of
the large panel
of red paintings,
also an extremely
intriguing item:
this mound of stones.
You can see that it didn't fall
from the ceiling.
It was prehistoric man
but we do not know why.
On this panel, you have,
