Cave Of Forgotten Dreams

Wow! Unbelievable! Awesome!
This 3D documentary is guaranteed to leave you in awe. It is such a spectacular film. I went to this film to forget about my aching back. It sure worked. I was also concerned because I have been into the interior of many caves in different parts of the world. It can be claustrophobic and unsettling. The 3D makes it a magnificent experience.
Werner Herzog directed the film and narrates throughout.
In 1994 some scientific explorers discovered these hidden caves in France. Landslides had sealed them for several decades. The caves actually date back 20,000 years. It is hard to believe. Everything has become crystallized and looks like a hall of marble sculptures and stalactites.
There are so many drawings on the walls that look fresh and new. Sketches of horses and other animals date back thousands of years. These sketches are the oldest paintings ever discovered.
The marble like hangings are so spiritual.
Only a few scientists were allowed in a t a time and they could only walk in certain areas.
Various scientists are interviewed and they give so much information. They tell us about the human life and the animals that lived in these caves. They know there were rhinos and deer.
A footprint of a young child and a wolf are discovered. The scientists question if the boy was destroyed by the wolf or they lived side by side.
Small flute like instruments were discovered. One scientist actually played a tune on this miniscule instrument dating back 4000 years,
This was an enchanted world of magnificent crystals. The film is dedicated to the scientists who discovered the Chauvet Pont d’Arc cave. Don’t miss this film.
