Welcome to the next fascinating installment in the Ancient News Series! The intrepid James Fleischmann takes us to East Kalimantan on the island of Borneo where a 31,000 year old skeleton shows signs of an amputated leg! Then off to Limerick, Ireland where photographer Ken Williams has developed a new optical technique that reveals carvings and etchings on the Grange Stone Circle! In the northern Arabian desert, scholars have identified 350 ancient star-shaped kites, walled structures that force prey animals into traps and killing zones! And then to Turkey, where an ancient stone bathtub has been attributed as the birthplace of 12th century poet and scholar Kadı Burhaneddin, who was delivered by water birth in this tub! Then finally we look at a study on the hybridization of Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens... it turns out our connections may be even more complicated than we thought!
