- September, 1940
- The entrance to a complex of Paleolithic painted caves was inadvertently discovered on September 12, 1940 by 18-year-old Marcel Ravidat when his dog, Robot, fell in a hole! Called the Lascaux Caves, they are located in southwestern France near the village of Montignac. Ravidat and three friends, Jacques Marsal, Georges Agnel, and Simon Coencas entered the cave through a 49-foot-deep hole attempting to rescue the Robot. Inside, the teenagers discovered that the cave walls were covered with ancient paintings of animals.
- The boys returned with Abbé Henri Breuil, the famous French priest and archeologist to help interpret the cave art. Breuil made many sketches of the art for later study.
- Scientists estimate the paintings to be up to 20,000 years old! They depict hundreds of figures and large animals such as aurochs, bison, deer, horses, and ibex. What an incredible discovery!
