-Hello, everybody.
Today I'm in Cantabria,
in the caves of Altamira.
They are amazing!
They're full of paintings
some of them are 18.000 thousand years old.
So, what can we see?
In the paintings there are many animals, like:
Some of these animals are extinct now.
That means they are not living among us anymore.
They didn't have any more baby animals.
That is quite sad.
At least we have these paintings,
so we know these animals existed.
But I'm a bit worried now.
I think I'm lost.
The caves al Altamira go very deep down
thought narrow tunnels.
Do you know what "narrow" means?
That right, "narrow" is the opposite of "wide".
Wide and narrow.
So I walked and walked and I crawled and crawled
from many narrow tunnels.
And I think I have arrived in a cave
where nobody has been before.
Can you believe it?
In this cave there are some fantastic paintings
created by artists long ago.
And these paintings tell a story.
Remember: history and story are not the same.
History is the study of what happened in the past
in society and with people.
A story is a tale with a protagonist,
a beginning and an ending.
So these paintings tale a story.
Would you like to hear it?
Well, in this story there are no animals,
but there are humans, just like you and me.
These humans lived in caves,
and that's why they were called "cavemen"
They lived in caves
because they didn't know how to build houses yet
and they needed protection from the weather
and from wild animals.
But, apart from that, they were just like us,
they had the same feelings.
Son, in the story, there is a young cavewoman.
Let's call her Iggy.
One day, she was in the forest looking for food
when suddenly se saw another tribe of cave men.
Now, at that time, that was dangerous.
Tribe were made up of 30 or 40 people
and they could be warriors.
Iggy saw a young caveman in the other tribe.
His name was Ug.
And Ug saw Iggy.
They were from different tribes, has different coloured hair,
wore different furs for dressing,
but something magical happened.
What do you think it was?
Exactly.
Iggy and Ug fell in love with each other.
It was love at first sight!
But wait, could that really happen 18.000 years ago?
Cavepeople from different tribes falling in love?
Yes! Of course it could!
They were humans, just like us,
and they had the same feelings.
They could feel love and affection too.
So Iggy and Ug loved each other
and the two tribes became friends.
Iggy and Ug had many children,
hunted deers together
and lived happily ever after.
I love stories about love.
And it's great to think that humans so long ago
had the same feelings and emotions as us, like love.
And that's the end of the story.
See you next time, everybody.
Bye!
