"Lascaux Cave"

"Lascaux Cave in France’s Dordogne region is renowned for its stunning Palaeolithic wall paintings. These artworks, mostly depictions of animals, date to around 17,000 years ago—placing them in the Upper Paleolithic era, likely in the late Solutrean or early Magdalenian periods. Scholars have estimated their age using a combination of radiocarbon dating and associated finds, such as a carved reindeer antler, offering insight into the artistic traditions of early humans."
