This is Paleolithic.
And... this is Paleolithic.
I have an extensive collection
which the Council is very welcome to see,
having made Prehistory my study for several years.
I realise that this is a... a profoundly shocking discovery.
Or an absurd mistake which will make us Cantabrians
the laughing stock throughout the world.
May I ask, sir, how you would account for the paintings?
Certainly.
They are the work of runaway slaves
when this was a Roman province
two thousand years ago.
No doubt these beasts
were still prevalent in their barbarian homeland.
Not one shred of evidence to support that.
There's nothing in the cave less than ten thousand years old.
Nothing that you have presented,
but how can we be sure?
Do you think I would distort the evidence?
I know what we are suggesting appears extraordinary
but these are the facts.
That's monkeys with paintbrushes!
We believe that if the cave is properly cared for,
the international experts we have invited to see the paintings
will share our view
that this discovery, in our province,
is of enormous significance in the History of Mankind.
