This Secret Cave Could Change How We See Early Humans | NOVA | PBS
Step into the stunning cave that’s reshaping our understanding of prehistoric art.
Deep in the gorges of southern France lies the Chauvet Cave, an archaeological treasure hidden from the world for millennia. Sealed by a rockfall 20,000 years ago, and rediscovered in 1994, it protects some of the world's oldest and best-preserved Stone Age art, including vibrant depictions of lions, mammoths and rhinos. Join a team of scientists as they unlock the cave’s secret history, from giant bears that prowled through it to mysterious large fires that illuminated it. Watch as they uncover how these early humans created carefully planned compositions on the walls, upending our traditional understanding of art history and connecting us intimately to the dawn of human creativity.
