Summary
An exclusive expedition into the nearly inaccessible Chauvet Cave in France, home to the most ancient visual art known to have been created by man. Completely sealed off by a rock fall for over 20,000 years, in 1994 scientists discovered the caverns and found hundreds of pristine paintings within. Its crystal-encrusted interior is as large as a football field and strewn with the petrified remains of giant ice age mammals. An unforgettable cinematic experience that provides an unique glimpse of pristine artwork dating back to human hands over 30,000 years ago, almost twice as old as any previous discovery
