"Prehistorian and geologist Norbert Aujoulat spent ten years researching the Lascaux cave, painstakingly carrying out his research despite the limited access allowed to the site. His unprecedented skill and patience, combined with his scrupulously scientific approach, has opened up new paths of research. Taking into consideration the entire context of the cave, examining both the geology and archaeology of the area, Aujoulat gives a detailed analysis of the cave's architecture and takes us on a fascinating journey from the surface to the most hidden parts of the cave, offering us his stunning interpretation of these great wall paintings of horses, deer, and bison, which trace the birth of ancient mythologies - and of the beginning of modern art."--Jacket.
