The document discusses prehistoric cave drawings from the Chauvet and Lascaux caves in France that date back to the Ice Age. The Chauvet cave, located in southern France, contains drawings that were created around 30,000 BCE. Similarly, the Lascaux caves in southwestern France contain drawings from around 15,000-13,000 BCE. The cave drawings depict animals and were likely created for religious or magical purposes. Prehistoric artists used techniques like outlining and shading and made tools from bone and charcoal to create the artworks on the cave walls.
