The Oldest Enigma of Humanity: The Key to the Mystery of the Paleolithic Cave Paintings
- Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse next working day.
Thirty thousand years ago our prehistoric ancestors painted perfect images of animals on walls of tortuous caves, most often without any light. How was this possible? What meaning and messages did the cavemen want these paintings to convey? In addition, how did these perfect drawings come about at a time when manâ€™s sole purpose was surviving? And why, some ten thousand years later, did startlingly similar animal paintings appear once again, on dark cave walls?

Scholars and archaeologists have for centuries pored over these works of art, speculating and hoping to come away with the key to the mystery. No one until now has ever come close to elucidating either their origin or their meaning.

In their stunning book and for the first time, David and LefrÃ¨re, after working together for years, give us a new understanding of an art lost in time, revealing what had until recently remained unexplainableÂ—the oldest enigma in humanity has been solved.
