Cave of Forgotten Dreams

This cave was very interesting in a very artistic manner and in other natural ways.  I was blown away by the pristine preservation of of the artwork in the cave and pretty much every other aspect of the cave like the bones, skulls, etc.  The cave is more than 32,00 years old so it is nothing short of incredible how everything has been naturally maintained.  One thing that caught my attention early on was the fact that the entranceway of the cave, inside the largest chamber, there were no paintings until the very end of entranceway where there would be complete darkness.  Were the artists being cognizant of the potential light coming in and tarnishing their artwork? Is this why they were putting their artwork at the part of the chamber where there would be no light? With this being kept in mind and the preservation of the cave, the artwork looked fresh, which is amazing given the age of everything.  

Something else I learned was the way they made some of the artwork.  There were animals that looked like they were running, fighting, and other things.  The fact that the artists drew what looked like 8 legs on a bison or other animals, made it feel like cinematic photography.  It feels like we could've seen the action that was being portrayed.  

Another fact that shed light on the significance of this cave was that there were never any humans living there.  This makes it feel like the cave was literally a museum type of ordeal. With the fact that there is some artwork that was spread between 5,000 years, it really makes it relatable to a museum. Even over a very long period of time, there was still artists putting artwork in the cave.  Another interesting part of this incredible discovery is the fact that there is one artist that can be followed.  There was a man that made red dots with his hands and he had a very distinct small finger because it was crooked.  The explorers went through the cave and came across more of his artwork and could tell because of the distinct shape of his hand.
