The Dordogne, France: Lascaux's Prehistoric Cave Paintings
Loading...
Uploaded by RickSteves on Oct 27, 2010
From about 18,000 to 10,000 b.c., long before Stonehenge and the pyramids, back when mammoths and saber-toothed cats still roamed the earth, prehistoric people painted deep inside caves in what is today the Dordogne region of France. These cave paintings are huge and sophisticated projects executed by artists and supported by an impressive culture — the Magdalenians.

I wonder what type of lighting they used back then, to light up the cave. there's no sign of smoke or soot.
