The story about how the Lascaux Cave Paintings in France were discovered is just about as interesting as the paintings themselves. The wall paintings were actually a group of teenage boys who found the cave in 1940, when one of their dogs ran into the cave during a walk outside. Soon enough, the 17,000-year-old paintings were not just attracting curious dogs, but thousands of human tourists.
So with such an incredible discovery found in France, why haven’t any history buffs been visiting the space? That is probably because it was closed off to tourists in 1963, when officials deemed it too dangerous to allow visitors. But, are dogs still allowed?
