The Cosquer Cave Discovery

The Cosquer cave was discovered 27000 years ago from ancient times. In particular, glaciers of 1 kilometer depth were discovered, from glaciers to France to the Alps, and to the high level of Provence. Because these glaciers contain a lot of water, the Mediterranean sea level has dropped more than 100 meters. A prehistoric human found an entrance to the Cosquer cave in a place not far from the sea and some entered it. In the meantime, the man created a wonderful picture on the wall of the cave.

Excellent Clottes in his field has never been decided. He taught high school English in Foix of the Pyrenees Mountains near the border of Andorra, which was once the center of a decorative cave. He studied archeology in his spare time and quit his professor at the age of 41. He worked part-time and gave me the opportunity to get a new cave and an impressive business card - as a prehistoric director of Midi-Pyrenees - but nominally. That promise was officially established in 1971 and in the following 20 years Clottes was usually the first responder to a newly discovered site. Prior to Chauve, the most impressive finding was Coster, a painted cave near Marseille, only reachable through dangerous underwater tunnels, three divers were drowning. Like Altamira, Cosquer was initially seen as a mischief, and some news coverage used Clottes' integrity as its certifier.

When Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola first met Magdalenian paintings in the Altamira cave in Cantabria, Spain in 1879, the scholars at the time thought they were mischievous. Recent reassessment and many other discoveries proved their credibility and stimulated the interest in human art at Upper Stone Age. Rock art discovered in the Khoit Tsenkher cave in Mongolia derived from the Paleolithic Age includes wall-to-ceiling symbols and animal shapes. There are all patterns of buckwheat, buffalo, cattle, wild goat, lion, algary, antelope, camel, elephant, ostrich, and other animals, and in most cases there are duplicate images . These pictures are similar to other Paleolithic rock art styles around the world, but unlike other Mongolian examples, they are brown or red.
