Description
Richard Rudgley continues his journey back in time
and discovers that woolly mammoths and cave paintings aren’t the only
relics of the Ice Age. In his travels through the Upper Palaeolithic (or
Ice Age), Richard finds beauty, social complexity and technological
skill.
He visits a 35,000-year-old bead factory –
maybe the first ever production line – and builds up a collection of
beautifully sculpted female figurines – fertility symbols or early
pornography? And he tunnels deep into the earth in search of the
spiritual secrets of our Ice Age ancestors – in full glory on the
painted walls of their cave-cathedrals.
