I'm not sure he ever knew anything about anything. :^) And he's never been as entertaining as Giorgio A. Tsoukalos:Is such a thing even possible? Yes, it is.

That’s the ticket
Co-existing with realistically drawn figures does tend to make this interesting.
Goodness! She is beautiful!
My guess is, cave art was entertainment, and everyone including children participated in its making. :^)
That is a very level-headed guess. If I were to help with the art, you’d also end up with something like that.
Not guilty
Eerie, weird, creepy, these are the words that attract readers, even though there is nothing at all eerie about ancient graffiti.
Those are clearly weather balloons.
I’m sure it’s nothing…
Who knows? A party or celebration? Back from a hunting trip and having a big barbeque? A family portrait including livestock and family pets? (Anybody see Betty Boop and Siren Head in there?)
Crash go the Chariots! Van Daniken at a certain point in his book wrote “I seem to remember the Bible saying....” regarding gold foil on the Ark of the Covenent.
Von D. could not even be bothered to open a book that is universally available book to verify and footnote a remembered statement in support of the central thesis of his book. Why would anybody need to ever take him seriously again?
I was just reading “Archaeology” magazine, and I noticed that “rock shelters” is the term-of-art these days, instead of “caves.”
Also, they say “horse riders” instead of “horsemen.”
BUMP to link in post 5 for later
Fred Flintstone was a man ahead of his time.
Maybe the giraffe had a Saturday morning kids’ show.
Rock shelters can be just a slight overhang, but the description subsumes caves, which a slight overhang isn’t. :^)
I'm not sure anyone ever took him seriously. On the other hand, this came out in the 60-70s and there was a lot of flaky, drug addled ideas at the time.
I read it when I was 11 or 12 and thought it was OK for science fiction.
“I read it when I was 11 or 12 and thought it was OK for science fiction.”
Oh... OK!
