00:00Archaeological treasures are hidden on these steep cliffs.
00:04This is where bearded vultures have built their nests.
00:07The birds have been gone from the region for years.
00:24Vulture families use the same nests again and again.
00:28They continuously repair them with anything they can find.
00:41Medieval sandals, woven masks, arrows and other artifacts are preserved for hundreds of years.
00:47Here we have a species that has done the work of a museum.
00:53Once again, the researchers discover a lot of wickerwork and four sandals.
01:12The team can work undisturbed. Bearded vouchers have not lived here for 40 years.
01:18Basically, the gurgles were extinguished in the whole of the Iberian and the Pyrenees,
01:24due to the use of cebos.
01:26They put venom in pieces of meat,
01:29and the gurgles were one of the species that,
01:31although it was not one of its objective species,
01:34ended up disappearing mainly due to this cause.
01:37Scientists are racing against time to investigate more nests.
01:41Efforts have recently been made to reintroduce the birds.
01:45If the vultures return, their nests will be off limits to everyone.
01:49We'll see you next time.
01:49So now we're gonna have fun of our new season.
01:50Go to the ready.
