Raiders of the Lost Past with Janina Ramirez
S01E02 The Lion Man
In this gripping episode, Nina delves into the depths of Nazi Germany, uncovering the story of archaeologist Robert Wetzel, who, in a secluded cave in late August 1939, unearthed an extraordinary artifact known as the Lion Man, dating back 40,000 years. Just a week after this remarkable discovery, World War II erupted, forcing Wetzel to cease his excavation, and mysteriously, he never spoke of the find again. Janina learns that the Lion Man signifies a pivotal moment in human history, embodying the fusion of human and animal, and marking the dawn of creativity, faith, and culture.
