OnChristmasEvein1994,humansenteredacaveinthemountainsofsoutheasternFrancefor
whatwas probably the first time in 20 000 years.The vivid images of more than300 animals that
Jean-Marie Chauvet and his assistants found on the cave walls were like none that they had seen
before. Unusual in the Grotte Chauvet, as the cave is now called in honor of its discoverer, are
paintings of many flesh-eating animals. Other known caves from the same geographical area and
time period contain only paintings of plant-eaters. The paintings in this cave refute the old theory
that Cro-Magnon people painted animals that they hunted and then ate. Now many specialists
believe that cave paintings were not part of a ritual to bring good luck to hunters. They point out
thatwhile deermadeupamajor partoftheir diet, therearenodrawings ofdeer.Theybelieve that

the animals painted were those central to the symbolic and spiritual life of the times, animals that
represented something deep and spiritual to the people. Scientists are hopeful that Grotte Chauvet
will yield new information about the art and lifestyle of Cro-Magnon people. They readily admit,
however, that little is understood yet as to the reasons why ice age artists created their interesting
and detailed paintings. Scientists also wonder why some paintings were done in areas that are so
difficult to get to, in caves, for example, that are 2400 feet underground, and accessible only by
crawlingthroughnarrowpassageways.
