While caves in the upper Lozoya Valley, about an hour's drive north of Madrid, had been known about since the 19th Century, the Des-Cubierta site was only found in 2009 during investigation of other cavities on the hillside. All were fragmented but their horns or antlers were relatively intact, and some were found near to traces of hearths. At the start of 2023 researchers announced that a Spanish archaeological site known as Cueva Des-Cubierta (a play on "uncover" and "discover") held an unusually large number of big-game skulls. This isn't the gory beginning of an ice age horror novel, but the setting for a fascinating Neanderthal mystery. Tiny fires were lit amidst a boulder-jumbled floor, and the flame-illuminated chamber echoed to dull pounding, cracking and squelching sounds as the skulls of bison, wild cattle, red deer and rhinoceros were smashed open. Sometime between 135,000-50,000 years ago, hands slick with animal blood carried more than 35 huge horned heads into a small, dark, winding cave.

Things go bump in the night during The Woman in Black. The weak of the world were put here for the strong pleasure. “Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and if needs to be, taken by the strong. For example, a quote from Zaroff during his reaction to Rainsfords reaction of finding out that Zaroff hunts humans. His ego stems from his life of luxury, wealth, and militarism which inflate his ego and sense of entitlement and impose few limits on his desires.
