SUMMARY:Prehistoric Cave Art of Spain & France
DESCRIPTION:Travel with world-renowned archaeological author Paul Bahn\, a gifted and popular lecturer who regularly leads tours to study the prehistory of Spain and France\, including this program. Dr. Bahn will enhance your understanding of the sites with lectures and informal discussions. Investigate southwestern Europe’s most extraordinary prehistoric caves\, including Lascaux IV\, a new\, exact reproduction of one of the most remarkable prehistoric sites ever discovered; Altamira II\, a precise replica of the original that is often called the “Sistine Chapel of Prehistoric Art”; Atapuerca\, the most significant early human site in western Europe; Las Monedas Cave and Cueva del Castillo\, where 455 animal likenesses were painted and engraved some 22\,000-14\,000 years ago\, but other motifs such as hand stencils and red dots have been dated to more than 40\,000 years ago\, meaning that they may well have been made by Neanderthals; Cougnac\, which features paintings of extinct megaloceros and mammoth; Pech Merle\, known for its “negative handprints”; and others.
