Scenes from ’Cave of Forgotten Dreams’

Werner Herzog’s epic documentary film ’Cave of Forgotten Dreams’ (2010) explores the Paleolithic murals of Chauvet Cave, France. The undulating walls of the cave are adorned with remarkable depictions of animals from that far removed time, including the extinct megaloceros, wooly rhinoceros, cave bears, cave lions and hyenas. The remarkable condition of the these most ancient artworks is simply breathtaking considering their age of over 30,000 years.
