The Cave at Lascaux.
On the Northern slopes of the Pyrenees in France, among a tremendous concentration of Palaeolithic caves and prehistoric sites exists a renown sanctuary called Lascaux.
In September of 1940 a group of teen-agers were seeking mythical treasures along the banks of the Vézère river. There were stories of tunnels that ran under the river which contained treasures beyond imagination. What the teens discovered was treasure beyond what they could ever have imagined.
The cave had been hidden for thousands of years, estimates range from 15,000 to 30,000 years. Because of it’s physical location, along the side of a hill, and the erosion of the land surrounding the entrance, the cave lay cloaked, unseen by human eyes since the stone age. Once the teens uncovered the entrance, the world was anxious to follow.
