A story that Indiana Jones would have loved, with all the ingredients of an authentic adventure and a meticulous scientific investigation, which leads our two heroes to share the daily life of the Dayak and the Punan, the natives of the great Borneo forest, to brave the rapids, to sweat blood and water on inconvenient paths, to infiltrate underground conduits with walls lined with spiders and snakes, to discover cemetery caves and amazing prehistoric paintings, where the hands of our ancestors address them, over the centuries, friendly and enigmatic greetings...
