Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Red Lady of Paviland

The Red Lady of Paviland.Friends, tonight I’m taking you to a place where the land falls away into the sea, where the wind howls across the cliffs of Gower and the waves whisper against ancient stone. Hidden there is a cave that kept its secret for more than 33,000 years.In the latest episode of The Time Between Times, we journey deep into Ice Age Wales to uncover the extraordinary story of the Red Lady of Paviland — one of the oldest ceremonial burials ever discovered in Western Europe.This is a story that has everything I love: mammoths wandering across frozen landscapes, ancient rituals lost to time, archaeological mysteries, and a remarkable discovery that challenged everything people thought they knew about the distant past.Who was the young man buried beneath a blanket of red ochre? Why was he laid to rest with such care? And what can his grave tell us about the beliefs, hopes and dreams of people who lived tens of thousands of years ago?It’s a tale of wonder, mystery and deep human connection — a reminder that even across unimaginable stretches of time, the people of the past are never quite as distant as they seem.So pull up a chair by the fire, settle in, and join me as we step beyond history and into deep time itself.I can’t wait for you to hear this one.
