Star Maps! 🏟️What Did Hamroula Really Find in That Cave?

🌀
What connects 48,000-year-old cave art in Sulawesi with stainless steel jewelry designed by Indigenous futurists? Or sea lions in the Galápagos with swirling red-blue patterns on Pluto’s icy plains?

This episode traces a breathtaking arc — from the moment a local guard named Hamdullah discovered humanity’s oldest narrative cave paintings, to Lloyd Kiva New’s groundbreaking Native American fashion label that redefined cultural identity. Then we journey to cutting-edge preservation efforts that blend Indigenous craftsmanship with 3D scanning, and end in the cosmic, where natural symmetry reveals itself in sea urchin shells and the frozen landscapes of distant planets.

One epic of pattern, memory, and reinvention. A story where tradition and innovation aren’t opposites, but fractal mirrors echoing across time, land, and stars.
