Image via WikipediaA 3-D guided tour by Werner Herzog of the Cave of Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc "....(a) limestone cave (containing) a wealth of early paintings, perhaps from as long ago as 32,000 years."
"Here, amid gleaming stalactites and stalagmites and a carpet of animal bones, beautiful images of horses gallop on walls alongside bison and a ghostly menagerie of cave lions, cave bears and woolly mammoths. Multiple red palm prints of an early artist adorn one wall, as if to announce the birth of the first auteur."
