6,000 years and this thing never got water on it?

People have complete access to this without monitoring? This is awful.

How about a 6,000 year prison sentence at hard labor for him?

History of the World Part 1

Vandals are bad, but the inevitable march of time and climate change are the two biggest threats to this invaluable art. As the planet heats up and the oceans rise, we’re losing access to some of these artistic wonders. It may soon be hard to look at them at all, let alone protect them from idiots who want to capture them forever on social media.

Reason this article was written. Everything has to be linked to that. No exceptions.

In southern France, there’s a cave filled with paintings of prehistoric marine life, penguins, seals, fish, carts, and bears. Reaching it requires diving into the Mediterranean and navigating an underwater cave. Sea levels have risen a lot in the past decade and navigating to the cave is becoming increasingly difficult. Worse, the changing tides are starting to wipe away some of the artwork.

No they haven't. Visit any Mediterranean (or other oceans) coastal city and see for yourself. The port is still the port and not under the sea.

I stopped reading when they started to spout off about “climate change”.🙄

If you are a reporter, there is a requirement that you include this verbiage in every article no mater how irreverent or off topic.

Fail to follow the directive and the senior editor will just include it for you.

I having a hard time believing this story. There is simply no way a thousands year old painting would get damaged by a little water.

Caves by nature get damp and any paint that was that fragile would have long since washed away.

[mmichaels1970]

Well… that guy thousands of years ago vandalized the cave.

[Organic Panic]

And in 1000 years krylon spray paint graffiti will be considered art.

Though... I love archeology. I loved visiting tiny Greek islands and there were caves where some unknown sailor carved his name on the wall 2000 years ago.

“Kilroyopolis was here.”

We all want to leave our mark on eternity.

Utterly deceptive BS. The Ice age glaciers melted submerging most coastal settlements all over the world.. Now, how did SUVs cause the ice age to end 12,000 years ago? Can't? Then explain what did cause it. Can't? well alrighty then.
