Here is a text on the Chauvet caves and it's replica:

It talk a bit on the replica, on the Chauvet caves and briefly how it had been discovered, how the replica will preserve the original, the experience of going in the cave. I like the part where they explain about the Lascaux caves and why they closed them. All because of the human breath and bacteria. Too sad they can't restaure the original.
I like the first picture. It is a picture inside the cave: a bison, I think. I find it look like a bison but I can be mistaken. The person who had done this one was really good. It is the kind of picture I like. It touch something deep. It is the beginning of art, in a sense. Someone wanted to express something, even if the message is lost in time. It is a bit misterious but talking to us in a primal level. It is the beginning of something. Because of this cave or other caves like that, i am able to create, to be a creative person.
