The Lascaux Caves, France

While it is often a must to think of the possibilities the future holds, it wouldn’t hurt to look back to the past every now and then. With that in mind, it’s no surprise many people often spend a couple of credit card points visiting museums and historical sites. However, this site is off-limits – though there are still some ways to see what it has in store.

Before the canvas and the paintbrush, people tend to paint on walls with their fingers. Before the first civilization was established, cavemen often drew about their various adventures on the walls to commemorate the achievements they’ve made or pay homage to the endeavors of their friends. Well, such was also the case for France’s Lascaux Caves. Although it initially welcomed visitors, the cave has since been closed off due to its paintings’ deteriorating condition. While researchers are still finding a way to fix this issue, replicas have since become available for the general public to see.
