Talk: Discovery of Ancient Indian Ocean Caves
Francine Stone was led by chance into an unusual cave with inscrutable petroglyphs in its depths on the island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean while working in Yemen as a researcher, historian, and environmental conservationist. Her academic specialty is in the early and medieval human geography of the Red Sea coast, Southern Arabia and Gulf of Aden.
Stone said, “The Indian Ocean Island of Socotra is a unique world on its surface and an astonishing legacy is to be found in its caves. Who were the ancient peoples who went deep into the Island’s darkness? What do we make of the signs –made in wonder, made in awe? - they left on those cavern walls?
Talk will be held in Newtown, Sunday, October 25th at 9:45am
