Cave Paintings

(I did end up winning that other kiriban ^-^ I'll post the picture when I get it.)
So, we saw a movie called "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" today.
It was about these ancient cave paintings they found in France just over 10 years ago. It's called the Chauvat Cave. There was some amazing stuff in it. Lots of cave paintings, some 32.000 years old. And there were lots of animal bones as well, especially cave bears. And there were beautiful cave formations as well.
I'll post some pictures I snatched offline.
These are some of the paintings.





This is a cave bear skull that was covered in calcite. Isn't that amazing?

That cave bear skull is amazing! I wonder how well preserved it is beneath all that!
