Fun fact, it’s actually been theorized that overlapping cave paintings like that were essentially a rudimentary form of animation, as flickering firelight would create the illusion of movement.
what a rollercoaster of emotions: “please just have a video- oh they do! great. oh hold on that’s a terrible video that shows absolutely nothing and just gives me a headache with its 5 frames per second, why did they even bother?”
The amazing paintings in that cave don’t stop there.

Is this the cave where they built a full scale replica for visitors right next to the actual cave because the real cave is too sensitive to light?
Yes, this is that one.

Look for a documentary called “Cave Of Forgotten Dreams” by Werner Herzog, about this cave.
Damn man. At least they made the art they had banging around in their skulls.
Meanwhile I can’t do a thing I’ve got so much reference material for because “what if it’s not just the way I want”
you dumb bitch you can fix it if it sucks holy shit.
Edit: I wonder if cave painters had issues with… not properly representing their vision… their visions were… more bison shaped then, but all the same…
Lol, now I’m imagining 200 feet from this cave is the Cave of Initial Sketches.
