When another old cave is discovered in France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays attention to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as buffalo or wild cats. Other images show birds and even horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images. This outnumbers all other animals. Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.
Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
Wild Animals in Art
Prehistoric Paintings
Exploring Caves
Determining the Age of French Caves
