The Oldest Enigma of Humanity: The Key to the Mystery of the Paleolithic Cave Paintings

A mystery spanning thousands of yearsâ€”and a compelling study of early mankind and the first sparks of human artistic creativity.
Â
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 primitive man'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 has ever come close to elucidating the paintingsâ€™ origin and meaningâ€”until now.

Here, the stunning truth is revealed by artist Bertrand David and Professor Jean-Jacques LefrÃ¨re, giving us a new understanding of an art lost in time, explaining what had once been unexplainable, and solving the oldest enigma in humanity.
