For over 150 years, researchers have been perplexed by the purpose and meaning behind the mysterious non-figurative signs found in over 400 caves, including renowned locations like Lascaux, Chauvet, and Altamira. However, utilizing a comprehensive database of images spanning the European Upper Palaeolithic, our guests present a groundbreaking theory on how three commonly occurring signs were actually units of communication.
In this captivating discussion, we speak to Dr. Tony Freeth and Ben Bacon as they explain hrough extensive analysis, we propose that when these signs appear in close proximity to animal depictions, they serve as numerical representations of months. In fact, they form integral components of a local phenological and meteorological calendar.
Dr Tony Freeth is a founding member of the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project and an Honorary Senior Research Associate at University College, London. He holds degrees in Mathematics from Cambridge University (UK) and Bristol University (UK). His work on the Antikythera Mechanism has been published in Nature (Freeth et al, Nature 2006 and Freeth et al, Nature 2008) as well as other prominent journals.
Ben Bacon, an amateur archaeologist and furniture conservator in London, meticulously examined ancient markings on cave paintings dating back 20,000 years, finding compelling evidence that they could be associated with a language. Teaming up with two professors from Durham University and one from University College London, they embarked on a collaborative effort to decipher the significance of these enigmatic symbols.
