Thanks for the ping. A very sad state of affairs...

Most of those cave sites have been mostly closed to the public for a while, to prevent damage from exhaled moisture and molds and stuff brought in on clothes and hair and such. Given their antiquity, it’s amazing they’ve survived at all. One wonders how many other painted caves there once were, and perhaps whether photography in usually invisible spectra could recover presently unknown, lost works.
