It's hard to think of our ice-age ancestors as anything less than fully modern when one sees the artistic skill displayed in this cave. It's
breathtaking.
I recall seeing something on the Discovery Channel maybe a year ago about the creation of the replica of Lascaux. As I recall, the whole of the
original paintings were scanned with a laser devise and hand-painted down to the smallest detail. Painstaking work, to be sure.

The painted caves of Lascaux in the Dordogne region of France are one of the most famed monuments of Ice Age art. Dating back about 17,000 years, the great Hall of the Bulls and its adjacent chambers proved so popular with visitors that a generation ago the cave had to be closed to save the paintings from encroaching mould. A replica, Lascaux II, was built nearby and has proved equally popular.
When I visited Lascaux II, I was impressed by the accuracy of the replica and how hard it must have been for the artists to have worked in that cave.
