32,000 year old art.
Watched this documentary on the History Channel regarding the cave of Chauvet-Pont d'Arc yesterday. Most fascinating program I've seen on TV on a long while. Depicts the oldest man made paintings currently known to man. Bisons, Rhinos, Cave Bears, Lions, Mammoth, Ibex, Horses. If you see it on your TV guide, I highly recommend it.

Yesterdays graffiti...... Pretty cool though. Someday I hope to visit the site.
Some of the comments are even more entertaining.

wormhole through time to a cave near sundre 32000 years in the future.
the caves in Spain have better preserved paintings, but are closed due to exhalation chemicals and humidity destroying them. yes out breath will destroy cave paintings.

great program.
i was quite surprised at how well done the art is. the eight legs drawn in to suggest movement, very advanced for a group early man who didnt even have basic knowledge of most things.
back then horses were at least useful...as supper.

You are closer to the truth than one may think greylynx. My physical attributes for one plus the fact that my dear wife often calls me neanderthal for another. But yes, it is more than highly possible.....

The true "art" of the drawings is that the artist captured the true leg positions of all the animals as if captured "in motion" Apparently a lot of modern art of horses ect. has legs in wrong position. Those old time artists based their work on real observations…hunters for sure.
