The painted caves of Lascaux in the Dordogne region of France are
one of the most famed monuments of Ice Age art.
IMHO, it's just good art.
If anything, comparing plenty of "modern art" to it...
shows we're "de-evolving" at least in regard to art!
Or have evolved enough to convince some of our "weakest links" to
spend millions of dollars on a canvas covered with random paint-splatter!

I know a few modern places that could be renamed The Hall Of The Bulls. . . .

ATTENTION FRENCH POLITICS AND CULTURE PING LIST :
Thanks to Sunken Civ, from the GGG (gods,graves and glyphs)PING LIST, for posting the picture of Lascaux and the article about the magnificent paintings in the caves at Lascaux, France.
I was privileged to visit the original when I was a student in Paris. It was a private tour for museum curators and students and it was mind blowing.
I’ll post this to the FRENCH POLITICS AND CULTURE PING LIST.

Last year when I had my DNA checked, they said that my
Cro-Magnon , yDNA haplotype R1b ancestors painted those cave pictures. I trust that you're taking good care of them...Don't make me come over there...ahem.

I trust that you're taking good care of them...Don't make me come over there...ahem. After I paid them enough money, they changed my DNA results from Neanderthal to basic Cro-Magnon. How much more does it cost to get into the cave painting elite?:D

And out of curiousity, how DO you pronounce that name? Specifically — the S — La’s’caux? I have always wondered...

Hi
‘Lascaux’ is pronounced Lass ko, with a slight emphasis on the second syllable.The X is silent. Hope that helps.

"Last year when I had my DNA checked, they said that my Cro-Magnon , yDNA haplotype R1b ancestors painted those cave pictures." So in other words, you're French...

"So in other words, you're French... " 68% of all Europeans are R1b...mine is the Denmark variety (DYS390-23).

It helps, thanks. I never could figure if the first ‘s’ was spoken or not. Forgot to ask the French teacher. By rules, it should be. And yet, you never know what the French drop, and why...

"68% of all Europeans are R1b...mine is the Denmark variety (DYS390-23)." LOL...I was just kidding, but since we're being serious, I am ethnically a pure Slav.
I wants my reparations, too.

You're probably a yDNA haplogroup 'I' or R1a .
