A karst plateau,

Hundreds of caves,

Thousands of small vestibules,

And as many slight drafts.

One day, one of those drafts leads us to a forgotten cave.

A cave that holds the memory of humanity

And has been sealed off for thousands of years.

A sanctuary, witness of ancient rituals, meeting place of the spirits of the Earth.

Dancers dance breathlessly, the sound of flutes continues to resonate.

A child's foot leaves its imprint in the clay floor.

Torchlight quivers, animals gallop.

Ochre shines on the rock walls.

Melodies reverberate from afar,

Their echo fading.

When suddenly, everything comes to a halt.

The skull grimaces one last time.

A drip hits the ground.

Noise stops forever.

Then we arrive.
