2018/06/02 – Steve Meads – Chauvet: Key to the Real Origins of Humans?

The discovery of Europe’s stunning cache of extraordinarily ancient “Paleolithic Art” — hidden deep in European limestone caves for over 40,000 years — began in 1940; in 1994, one of the latest additions to these incomparable artistic finds was made in southern France, in a cave system named “Chavaut.”   My guest tonight, citizen-scientist/archaeologist Steve Meads, is going to take us on a journey to Chauvet … a journey back almost 40,000 years … and maybe, to the Planet Mars itself.   Who were the “genius cave artists” of the Paleolithic?  Are there startling clues within these caves — which Meads has now unlocked — to the creation of the much later “high civilizations” of Ancient Egypt and Sumer?   Join us … on an artistic journey to the soul of humankind.   Richard C.
