Did Shamanic belief systems start with our species? Maybe not. One normal day, back in 2005, archaeologist Leore Grosman made his way up to the cave site at Hilazon Tachtit in the Southern Levant region of Israel. He probably didn’t realise that it would be quite an extraordinary day.

Extraordinary because he and his team would discover something very unusual. Something that would turn accepted spiritual history on its head and change how we viewed our ancestors forever.
