Race to save prehistoric art in Lascaux

The video discusses the reproduction of the prehistoric Lascaux cave paintings in France. Experts are using high-resolution images to recreate the artwork, aiming to understand the techniques used by ancient artists. The project, Lascaux Revisited, seeks to preserve the cave's legacy as the original site has been closed to the public. New technology aids in capturing details missed in previous reproductions. The team hopes to document unreproduced parts of the cave for future generations, though time is limited.
