necessarily the victims of a rock
fall if there are rocks falling on you
from a natural rockfall it would be very
strange to find nobody trying to escape
and one of them with the hands close to
the head in an almost sleeping
position although the bones of this
young female are fused to the Limestone
Rock and are hard to see Michael Walker
thinks her body may have been carefully
arranged in a fetal
position if he's right this was no
rockfall around 50,000 years ago someone
had intentionally buried her piling
stones to protect her
body and this cave had yet more to
reveal near to the girl's body Walker's
team uncovered the fossilized bones of a
pair of Panther

was found close by and since the panther
hadn't eaten and Disturbed the bones
here it's more likely that the neander
Disturbed the Panther and cut its pore
off I just wonder whether in the way
that today hunters in America cut off
bare pores I'm wondering if the neander
tals occasionally didn't cut off a
panther por and keep it as a
trophy
