An extraordinary scientific adventure, told by the protagonists themselves: the discovery of an unpublished cave art, more than 10,000 years old, through a dozen missions in the jungle and caves of Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo), led by speleologist Luc-Henri Fage, CNRS archaeologist Jean-Michel Chazine and their Indonesian partner Pindi Setiawan.

 

These exceptional discoveries reveal a culture forgotten by all, lost in a labyrinth of limestone peaks.  They could shed new light on the settlement processes between Asia and Australia...

À la découverte des grottes ornées de Bornéo

 

(Discovering the decorated caves of Borneo)

Where it is told how, by dint of stubbornness, luck and intuition, a speleologist and an archaeologist, researcher at the CNRS, find the thread to go back in time in the lost caves in the heart of Borneo, the third island of the planet, and virgin of any archaeological research.

 

A story that Indiana Jones would have loved, with all the ingredients of an authentic adventure and a meticulous scientific investigation, which leads our two heroes to share the daily life of the Dayak and Punan, the natives of the great forest of Borneo, to brave the rapids, to sweat blood and water on the uncomfortable trails, to infiltrate underground passages with walls lined with spiders and snakes, to discover cemetery caves and amazing prehistoric paintings, where the hands of our ancestors send them, over the centuries, friendly and enigmatic greetings ...
