Rare visit to the cave graffiti of Addaura in Palermo

The caption takes you to a cell-phone video of an expert, Dr Vassallo of the superintendency of art and culture, leading a group called Let's Save Addaura on a rare visit to the graffiti of Addaura. The site has been closed for years, but I saw it in person in July 1986, the year I lived in Mondello. The graffiti are unusual in that they depict humans, not just animals. It might be an initiation scene of men dancing around a fire.
The link brings you to someone's Facebook page so you might have to scroll down on that page to find the video.
