MYSTERIES OF PREHISTORIC EUROPE
Length: 30 minutes Colour - Betacam SP/PAL with M&E and Italian Tracks A spetacular and fascinating journey through human
evolution in Europe, from the Neanderthal man to the Iron Age. The documentary includes a profound analysis of the
remains of many old Stone Age sites in Europe. A presentation of the
discovery of the famous Altamura caves in Spain which are considered to be
the "Louvre of the Stone Age". There is also a detailed description of the fabulous
carvings of the Valcamonica in the North of Italy, an important
archeological site where there are more than 70,000 primitive drawings.
The areas is now protected by the UNESCO. The commentator is Professor
Emmanuele Anaai, founder and director of the Camuni Studies Center in
Valcamonica and he describes the full cycle of the history of carvings,
from the arrival of the first hunters in the valley up to the Roman
invasions. These primative drawings, carved on the
glacier-polished rock in a hidden valley to the North-East of Milan, for
years had gone unnoticed. Nowadays, it is an important and decipheralble
guide to the psychological and material development of early Europe. An incredible journey back into the past. An absolute
must in any documentary library.
