Lascaux Caves, France

There is one magnificent spot that can give us insight into our journey to learning all there is to find out about the human race. The Lascaux Caves is home to a series of dazzling Paleolithic paintings that are likely around 20,000 years old. The paintings are plastered in the walls. They are hauntingly vibrant and depict ancient images of cattle, bison, stags, cats, and many more.

The most unbelievable of all the paintings are found in the Hall of the Bulls, where four bull murals that are 17 feet long each can be found. It is unfortunate since public access to these caves has been barred in the 1960s because of the invasion of fungi and black mold that are both considered health hazards. The human presence is not ideal for the area since it also might cause damage to the works of art. The pieces here can be great investments in the future.
