Questions for number 20 – 25
When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news.
Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly
anybody pays heed to them.
However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was
amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived
thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats.
Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall
images, by far outnumbering all other animals.
Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult
task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting
materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the
Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of
water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux
caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside.
Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed
them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent
further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.
