The Lascaux cave : a Prehistoric sky-map…

17,000 years ago, the Lascaux painters offered the world a peerless work of art. However, according to a new theory, some of the paintings could also be the representations of the constellations as seen in the sky by our ancestors from the Magdalenian era. Such a hypothesis, confirmed in many others Paleolithic Caves, radically transforms our conception concerning prehistoric Rock Art, as well as the history of Astronomy.
