Dawn of Art: The Chauvet Cave (The Oldest Known Paintings in the World) Specifications

The 1990s have witnessed a sort of renaissance in cave art, thanks to new discoveries from the south of France.

When these three spelunkers-turned-authors happened upon the Chauvet cave (named after one of them), however, they visited an underground art gallery that had been closed for 30,000 years.
