oh I've seen pictures
00:00:05
of the great cave at near but nothing
00:00:08
really prepares you for the sheer scale
00:00:12
of it
00:00:18
[Music]
00:00:38
[Applause]
00:00:39
[Music]
00:00:58
this part of the excavation was known as
00:01:00
is Hell trench and stepping down into it
00:01:02
it's easy to see why because it's
00:01:05
suddenly very hot and humid but all the
00:01:08
hard work and the discomfort paid off
00:01:10
because the archaeologist found
00:01:12
something that was quite
00:01:15
phenomenal it's a human skull it was in
00:01:19
many pieces when it was first found
00:01:21
which have been carefully fitted back
00:01:24
together like a
00:01:25
jigsaw and this is the top of the skull
00:01:28
it's unmistakably a modern human it has
00:01:30
a high DED
00:01:33
forehead the skull has been dated to
00:01:36
nearly 40,000 years old the oldest
00:01:40
confirmed remains of our species in
00:01:42
Southeast
00:01:46
Asia but Nia cave also offers us a clue
00:01:50
as to how these people survived in the
00:01:52
challenging environment of the
00:01:54
rainforest
00:01:56
[Music]
00:02:01
As you move just a little bit deeper
00:02:03
into the cave it becomes significantly
00:02:05
cooler and more pleasant and it just
00:02:07
feels like an ideal place for those
00:02:09
hunter gatherers to have set up their
00:02:10
camps and then they could have gone off
00:02:12
roaming into the forest the
00:02:14
archaological evidence shows that they
00:02:15
were bringing back a huge range of
00:02:17
different foods to eat from monkeys and
00:02:20
pigs and lizards to shellfish yams and
00:02:23
SEO
00:02:25
Palm compared with other species we're
00:02:28
incredibly adaptable
00:02:30
to survive we humans will eat just about
00:02:34
anything and as if to make exactly that
00:02:37
point in another corner of the cave
00:02:39
something really unusual is going
00:02:43
on I've arrived at harvesting time for
00:02:46
the ingredient used in the Chinese
00:02:48
delicacy bird's nest soup it's made from
00:02:51
the nests of rare swiftlets and today
00:02:54
these men are attempting a death defying
00:02:56
feat to gather them
00:02:59
I mean this is human Engineers isn't
00:03:12
it sweet little tiny swiftlets Nest that
00:03:15
has just been built out from the wall of
00:03:17
the
00:03:18
cave made of
00:03:21
saliva it feels a bit like resin or
00:03:23
something it's very
00:03:25
odd I can't believe that anybody would
00:03:27
want to make soup out of it
