#Quick facts about Cave art

Cave art was created during the prehistoric era. The Oldest Cave Art is from around 40000 years ago. Cave art can be seen in caves all over the world, mostly in Europe.
There is no explanation for the purpose of cave art and paintings are similar across the world and time. It is believed they were used for rituals. Many of these caves were not inhabited all year round.
There are 350 caves with paintings. They depict animals and hunting scenes with deer, rhinoceros, mammoths, horses, also stenciled hands, but there are abstract paintings as well and some are shamanic, astronomical, aboriginal or erotic (nudes or depicting couples).
Most famous caves are Altamira (Spain), Chauvet and Lascaux (France), Cueva de las Manos Argentina, Magura (Bulgaria), Nerja (Spain), Kakura (Australia), Twyfelfontein (Namibia).
The Lascaux drawings are the Sisitne Chapel of the Stone Age and are believed to have astronomical relevance. Stenciled hands are similar in caves at high distances in France, Spain, Argentina and Indonesia. Lascaux paintings are exhibited in Lascaux Cave Museum. Chauvet Cave has a replica, Caverne du Pont-d'Arc.Too many visitors produced molding and slow damaging of the originals and therefore replicas are to be visited. #What is cave art?, #When was cave art created?,
