The trailer for Netflix’s Unknown: Cave of Bones opens with the news that 1,500 bones have been discovered in a South African cave. Most importantly, the bones aren’t human.
Cave of Bones is part of a four-part documentary series premiering on the streaming service in July 2023. The four episodes will be released once a week over a four-week period. Part one, The Lost Pyramid, premiered on July 3rd, followed by Killer Robots on July 10th. Cave of Bones streams on July 17th, and the docuseries finishes up with Cosmic Time Machine on July 24th.
Netflix offered this description of the Cave of Bones episode:
“In South Africa’s Cradle of Humankind, Paleoanthropologist Lee Berger has found the world’s oldest graveyard – and it’s not human. If Lee and his team can prove that this ancient, small-brained, ape-like creature practiced complex burial rituals – it will change everything we know about hominid evolution and the origins of belief.”
Max Salomon, Jesse Sweet, Mark Mannucci, and Shai Gal directed, with Dan Cogan, Liz Garbus, Jon Bardin, Mala Chapple, Malvina Martin, and Jonathan Halperin executive producing.
