Lascaux is known for the Paleolithic cave paintings in the caves of the Dordogne region in the southwestern part of France and is known for its excellent quality, size, sophistication, and age. These paintings are presumed to last for 20 thousand years, and are mainly composed of large animals that were protozoans in this area. Lascau is in the Vezere Valley, and from the beginning of the 20th century many other decorative caves were discovered (eg Les Combarelles in 1901 and Font-de-Gaume, Bernifal in 1902). Lascaux is a complex cave with several areas (Bull Hall, Passage Gallery). It was discovered on 12th September 1940 and was legally protected by historic buildings in December of the same year. In 1979, the decorative cave of the Vesel valley including the Lascaux cave was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. However, these unforgettable prehistoric cave paintings are in danger. Recently, in Paris, more than 200 archaeologists, anthropologists, and other scientists gathered to hold unprecedented seminars to discuss the plight of precious treasures of Rasco and to solve their future I found it. The seminar was held with the support of the Ministry of French Culture and Communications, sponsored by Dr. Jean Clottes.
A part of the cave, Bull Hole, sideways passage, axis of the dead, sculpture room, painting house, and Belling Palace were found. This cave contains approximately 2,000 numbers and can be categorized into three main categories: animals, characters, and abstract symbols. Most of the main image is drawn on the wall using mineral paint, but some designs are also cut into stones.
Horses predominate in animals [364]. There are 90 stag beetle pictures. Cows, bison, cats, birds, bears, rhinos, and humans are also there. One of the most famous images is four huge black bulls or black bulls of the bull's club hall. One bull is 17 feet (5.2 m) long - the largest animal ever discovered in the cave

In addition, the bulls seem to be moving. This is the main food source of the artist, but there are no images of reindeer. In a room called Nave, usually a picture called "The Crossed Bison" was discovered as an example of craftsmanship of the Paleolithic cave painter. Crossed hind legs show the ability to use perspective. Since 2000, Lascaux has been plagued by fungi. The difference is the new air conditioning system installed in the cave, the use of high power lights, and there are too many tourists. As of 2006, the situation is getting more serious - the cave is seeing an increase in black mold. In January 2008, the authorities closed the cave for scientists and guardians for three months. Allow the cave to enter the cave for 20 minutes once a week, and monitor climatic conditions

The oldest cave art in Europe dates back to 40,800 years and is in the cave of El Castillo in Spain. Other cave painting places include Rascone from Romania, Altamira Cave, Cusack's Cave, Pecumel, Niau Cave, Cave Waves, Creswell-Krakgs, Nottinghamshire and Romania. The Coliboaia cave (considered the oldest cave mural painting in Central Europe) and Belogradchi Magura in Bulgaria. A rock painting was also drawn on the surface of the cliff, but few people survived because of erosion. A famous example is the Astuvansalmi rock art in the Sema area of Finland. When Marcelino Sants de Soutura first met Magdalenian paintings of the Altamira cave in Cantabria, Spain in 1879, the scholars of the day thought that they liked them mischievously. Cave paintings are performed using only the most basic tools and can also provide valuable insights about the cultures and beliefs of that age.
