A room in the Monaco Prehistoric Anthropology Museum at the Jardin Exotique. On the right, a double tomb, called of the “Grimaldi Negroids” (Children Cave, Balzi Rossi, Liguria). Recent studies have actually shown that these skeletons belong to the Cro-Magnon human group.
The “Great Cro-Magnon” tomb, dated of about 25.000 years BC (Gravettian culture). Researches by L. de Villeneuve, 1902 (Children Cave, Balzi Rossi, Liguria). It’s a great sized man (about 190 cm), to whom are associated several objects: some quite big flint blades, a deer antler, a carved stone and a flat stone covered with ocher. These objects have been purposedly placed by the body and show, unambiguously, the metaphysical and religious side of these Upper Paleolithic populations.
