CUMILA (EN)

This documentary presents the research carried out by members of the PACEA laboratory within the framework of the CUMILA project, focusing on the shell ornaments and ochre fragments found in the archaeological site of Panga ya Saidi, in Kenya. This site, who yielded the oldest burial from Africa, is important for the comprehension of the Middle Stone Age on the East coast of Africa.

Thank you for the recommendation.

Thanks Milo

[@TheSundanceKidWatson]

He clearly likes it!

Thanks for recommending Stefan. Your videos got me fascinated in pre-history about 6 months ago, but I’m learning virtually from scratch and there’s so much nonsense content around. The guidance is appreciated 👍🏻

The man. The myth. The legend Stefan Milo

Very glad I found this video, Stefan was right!

[@chraffis]

[@manjitrupbikram]

Thanks Stefan Milo for leading me to this.

Thanks for posting that! Fascinating!!!

2 decades of "climate change" > than 80,000 years = people are taking the shells. Oof. Interesting project. Silly use of a vague buzz phrase; especially in an unwarranted scenario.

Man, getting paid to snorkel! 🤣 jk, love seeing new findings like this, and it was explained quite well! (Thanks for the subtitles too!)

[@MrSirlulzalot]

I think that at a lot of different times a lot of interesting things happened.
That's just my opinion though.

Good stuff, but is the seashells really the same as that LONG ago?

Excited to have found this. My family is from the area in Kilifi where this discovery was made. Similar caves have been used as prayer sites by our ancestors and over time they have been abandoned. But the local communities nearby are well aware of these sacred sites from stories passed down by their elders. Great to see a team of seasoned archeologists put this together so well and share with the world this time in our history.

[@paceaqueffelec6559]

So glad you found this. Do not hesitate to share with family and friends in Kilifi!

[@noelcollins1072]

Yep! queffelec cumila!

[@sandejzack]

I hope the artefacts were returned to the Kenya Museums

[@Tital666]

Thank you for your kind comment on this documentary made available to you free of charge on TH-cam so that everyone can see what we did in Kenya. Thank you also for your mistrust expressed clearly in your one sentence, which is always very pleasant. Let me reassure you, so that you sleep better and perhaps have a better opinion of archaeologists (some of them, anyway): yes, the artifacts have been returned to Kenya.

And to all others who stumble in here. I just looked through the other vids on the channel and there appears to be a lot of interesting stuff. You may have to employ some method of translation though if you're not one those blasted Frenchies! Haha. Just kidding France. Je suis ton ami. Seras-tu à moi?

[@paceaqueffelec6559]

Yes there are other interesting things! Sure! Thanks! But some in French that's true. But isn't it part of the trip to hear another language? :)

[@YouTubdotCub]

Absolutely fascinating stuff!
