The vigorous beauty of murals painted by the light of lamps fueled by animal fat is stunning. Here are full masterpieces, bison and reindeer, cave lions and spotted horses, all done many centuries before, when woolly rhinos roamed the south of France. The carbon dating that fixes those times long before history is made credible in a simple page or two.
