Viaje Infinito...Huellas EternasCorazón de piedra: El latido eterno del PaleolíticoEn este episodio de Viaje Infinito… Huellas Eternas, nos adentramos en los ecos más antiguos de la humanidad: la era paleolítica. Una época tallada en hueso y piedra, donde cada bocado era una conquista y cada día, una danza con la muerte y la supervivencia. Exploramos cómo nos alimentábamos —desde la caza feroz hasta la pesca paciente— y cómo, en medio del miedo, el hambre y la noche, los humanos encendimos algo más que fuego: encendimos sentido.Este capítulo es también una despedida. Cerramos una era forjada con manos temblorosas pero...

Engineering Matters#297 Revisited: A Deep Dive Into the PastIn 1985 diver Henri Cosquer discovered a submerged cave entrance in the Mediterranean near Marseilles. Exploring over the next six years he discovered a chamber filled with prehistoric art.
Conditions in the caves and the submerged passages leading to it are extremely dangerous: three divers lost their lives exploring the caves.
Efforts to map the cave structure using traditional techniques proved impossible, but with modern 3D scanning and photogrammetry tools, replicas of key works from the cave have been created on land, spreading knowledge of the caves to future generations.

Bande passanteLes zones d'ombre de la grotte CosquerDans les récits entendus lors de l'ouverture de Cosquer Méditerranée, en juin dernier à Marseille, un homme ressort. Celui qui a donné son nom à la grotte qu'il a découverte au début des années 1990 et à l'espace dédié à sa reconstitution sur le J4 : Henri Cosquer. Un juste retour des choses. Mais si c'est bien lui qui s'est aventuré sur place le premier, des plongeurs alors proches de lui l'ont accompagné dans cette aventure qu'ils décrivent comme "collective". Et n'acceptent pas d'être effacés de l'histoire de cette découverte, qui avait fait couler beaucoup d'encre, c...

Dilettantery1.19 The Four Dimensions of Reality and the Two Dimensions of the Canvas Part 1: Caveman Proto-Movies, Aivilik Carvers, and Spaces“From paleolithic times to the present, all painters have been challenged by a fundamental problem: how to express the four dimensions of experience on a two-dimensional surface.”

"According to Andrea Stone: In Maya thought caves were a conduit into the bowels of the earth, a dangerous but supernaturally charged realm, often referred to as the 'underworld' in current literature or by the Quiché term, Xibalda. Herein dwelt the ancestors, rain gods, various 'owners' of the earth, culture heroes, nefarious death demons, animal and wind spirits. The Maya made pilgrimages to caves...

beneath the stream3. The AncestorsRecorded on location in Asturias, Cantabria and Castilla y Leon in northern Spain: join us, Colin Williams and Ian Rowlands, as we look at how our ancestors approached death, life and spirit, through our exploration of ancient sites and the manner in which they are located in the landscape.
These sites provoked some lasting emotions and questions in us: our place in time and bones of the land; what is the import of posterity; our relationship with our far-distant ancestors; their relationship to the creatures they shared their world with; and their relationship to the rituals, spirits an...

Club 44 | notre monde en tête-à-têtesLa grotte Chauvet-Pont d'Arc | Jean ClottesLa grotte Chauvet-Pont d’Arc, découverte en décembre 1994 par trois spéléologues et inscrite en 2014 au Patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, compte parmi les sanctuaires les plus importants et les plus originaux connus dans l’art pariétal franco-cantabrique. Près de 440 représentations animales y ont déjà été recensées par l’équipe scientifique. Cela en fait l’une des grottes paléolithiques les plus abondamment décorées en Europe. L’art de la grotte Chauvet est beaucoup plus ancien que celui de Lascaux, plus de 36 000 ans, ce qui change nombre de conceptions sur l’évolution de l’art pariéta...
