Yet we don't know they didn't have an exhaust fan hooked into a nearby vent hole. From the description of the fissure system, he would have been criminally negligent had a means of ventilation not been provided.
The description of how deep into the system the remains were discovered also seems incongruous with the guy's interpretation.
an impossible-to-reach cave almost 250 meters into a system, almost 36 meters below the surface, but only after you descended through a chute-like slit and labyrinth narrowing to 16 to 18 centimeters in places, averaging 20 centimeters.-cut-
You then climb up this fallen rock face, climbing back up about 15 meters in height. If you fall over either side, you die. And there you enter the chute. Now it begins to get really hard. Now you have to descend. And I want you to look at Steve. Look at the width of his helmet. This is the easiest and widest part. You will journey 12 meters down vertically, traversing 6 meters at the same time, where your legs, your pelvis, your chest, your head, and your arms are in different positions all the way down. It's easy going down; getting up is another thing. No ropes, no nothing. Nothing will fit.So, we are suppossed to believe these grief stricken creatures risked their own life by first scaling a 3 story cliff while carrying a dead body?? Then they pushed-pulled-dragged their dead down through openings averaging 8 inches but narrowing to 6-7 inches in diameter, 36 meters down and 250 meters inside for purpose of depositing their remains???
Carving deep into a rock that is 4.7 on the Mohs hardness scale. A fingernail is about 2.5.Ok so what made those carvings and when? Something harder than the rock surface was required to make the described marks. Certainly fragments of the tools should have been discovered. He conveniently didn't comment on what might have made the marks.

Because when I looked up, I saw cache and soot on the ceiling. My explorers had never looked up. The evidence for fire was right above them. Simultaneously with that discovery, my mentee, Dr. Keneiloe Molopyane, was leading an excavation in Dragon's Back, where we used to kit up, and she found a fire hearth at the same moment. Burnt bone was then found throughout.No mention of the fire remains being carbon dated. So we just assume no one ever came along more recently seeking shelter and lit a fire??
Sorry but I believe there are completely different ways of interpreting this site than what this Indiana Jones wannabe claims.
You certainly are the skeptic. Even to the name calling
Your theory does not hold water and seems composed mostly of hot air. You figure it out.
They didn’t have an exhaust fan hooked into a nearby vent hole, because they didn’t have exhaust fans. The rest of your post is similarly speculative opinion.
