A team of archaeologists headed by Xavier Gutherz uses the results of analyses of Mediterranean Neolithic ceramics and objects made by the Fontbouisse culture in the Languedoc to transpose features of this research rooted in regional cultures. They examine Neolithic cultures of the same types in the Horn of Africa, Djibouti, Ethiopia and northern Somalia and make them talk. During their work in Somalia they discovered an extraordinary wall painting site, a true'African Lascaux'.
