EN They also ventured up steep pathways in the cliff, piercing through openings in the rock, climbing up ladders made of tree trunks notched with steps and dangling over the void to reach the storage caves and grottoes of the ancient Tellem people (see box), where today the Dogons bury their dead.
GL Subían tamén ó cantil por sendeiros escarpados improvisados nas fallas da rocha, por chanzos tallados en troncos ca árbore ó bordo do baleiro, para chegaren ós celeiros e grutas do antigo pobo tellem que hoxe serven de sepultura ós dogon (ver recadro).
