EDITORS COMMENTS

The original Lascaux cave, which dates back around 17,000 years, has been closed to the public since 1963. However, visitors can still marvel at this incredible piece of prehistoric art at the Le Thot centre of prehistoric art (Espace Cro-Magnon). The Well Scene Le Thot replica is one of five replica paintings housed at this cultural heritage site in southwestern France. Created by Cro-Magnon man using ochre pigments in red, brown and yellow shades, as well as black manganese dioxide, these ancient artworks hold both religious and artistic significance. Photographed in 2010 by Philippe Psaila from Science Photo Library, this image beautifully captures the essence of this historical masterpiece. It serves as a reminder that even in the 21st century we can appreciate and learn from our ancestors' creativity during the Stone Age. With its intricate depictions of animals and wildlife against a rocky backdrop, this photograph transports us back to an era long gone but not forgotten. It offers us a glimpse into our distant past and invites us to contemplate the rich cultural history that shaped our present-day world.
