Unknown: Cave of Bones

Where to watch: Netflix

Next up, a documentary 250,000 years in the making!

Unknown: Cave of Bones is about the discovery of (you guessed it) a cave of bones. Specifically, this is one of the earliest graveyards in history discovered in the entire world. It was found in South Africa’s Cradle of Humankind. This discovery could reshape a lot of what we know about early life, including the spiritual nature of homo naledi, an early human species.

In searching for a key that may grant control to this intelligence, he crosses paths with a thief called Grace (played by Hayley Atwell from Agent Carter). He also encounters an old nemesis (played by Esai Morales from Ozark), one who he feels a particular hatred for.
