CAVE ART: ETCHINGS HAILED AS 'IBERIA'S MOST SPECTACULAR'


Hi everybody! Today I found a new about an interessting cave:

This undated handout picture released by Diputacion Foral de Bizkaia on October 13, 2016 shows cave engravings representing horses and goats, in the Armintxe cave in the Basque village of Lekeitio along with an annotated illustrationA new cave art discovered on the Iberian Peninsula, in the Basque town of Lekeitio. It's a 14,500 years old cave art, the most spectacular and impressive ever discovered.
In the drawings we can differentiate horses, bisons, goats and two palaeolithic lions. Some of the depictions are much bigger, for example, there’s a horse 150cm long. Some of the drawings are identical to forms in the French Pyrenees.
"It’s wonder, a treasure of humanity” senior Biscay said. They discovered the cave in May, and since that day they've been investigating.

Fin de la conversación de chat
The cave will not be opened to the public because of the need to preserve the paintings. But they will use technology to give a good view of the paintings as soon as possible.


OPINION: 
I don't have an opinion about this new really, it's only a new discovery. I suppose that I like this type of discoveries. It's interessting to know about our ancestors and learn how and where they lived, what they did, what meanings the paintings have... And with the technology we can answer some of these quations. Maybe it's not 100% sure, but, what's 100% sure in this life?
