What BBN said about it

  1. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentResearchers found at least one hundred twenty Latin inscriptions in a Spanish cave, and only about fifteen were known before.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe University of Southampton says it's the largest collection of its kind.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFive of them are dedicated to a goddess called Domina, the Lady, and researchers say she wasn't known anywhere else. That's a major debut.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRoll it. This is file footage, not the actual cave, because the cave is more than two hundred metres underground.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLook at this drone hovering over the ruins.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo it's about two hundred metres and one whole hill too early.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWatch this, here it comes. The camera drifts over that curved stone structure, and that is elite framing.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOh, a bus! There's a bus on the road, and I'm not even pretending, I'm watching the bus.

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRun it back. Viral Score, seven out of ten, because the drone pulls back to show the whole landscape and still misses every single inscription.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGive the bus a credit. It's the only one on screen who's moving.
