On 18th December 1994, in the Ardeche, southeast France, three caving friends made a discovery that astounded the world.In a hidden underground cavern they stumbled upon a collection of wall paintings dating back a staggering 30,000 years-the oldest examples of prehistoric art ever found,and some 15,000 years older than the renowned paintings at Lascaux. Now closed to the public, the cave and its extraordinary legacy have been seen only by a privileged few.
