Lascaux, an endangered message from ancient people
I’ve spoken before about ancient civilizations, but Lascaux is even older than what we might call “ancient”.
I am always fascinated by the past, but viewed in the right context what seems old is not that old at all.
Here’s a place where we can get in touch with our earliest ancestors (or at least get an idea, more on that later) and try to get a feel of what the world was for them, how they saw it and how they lived in it.
Imagine a group of people gathered around a sacred place, painting subjects that were important for them, to the light of a torch or a small ceramic lamp with so much care.
