...monitor and report to the world on the cave and its health. Lascaux is an expression of the earliest experience of being human. The cave's discovery in 1940 redefined what was known about human beings' creative development and ability to construct image from abstract thought. This critical leap and its resulting tangible evidence is invaluable to understanding global human heritage.

...health. Lascaux is not an heirloom of French or even Western culture. It is an expression of the earliest experience of being human. The Lascaux discovery in 1940 redefined what was previously known about human beings' creative development and ability to construct images from abstract thought. That critical leap and the resulting tangible evidence are invaluable to understanding global human heritage. Imagine if the great library of Alexandria survived today.
