      Yes! It’s got some incredible footage of the cave.

      The Kim Stanley Robinson book Shaman is an incredible prehistorical-fiction book on the people who lived in the area. Well worth a read!

      “It’s funny to say they are small; it’s funny to say they are big. I’ve been at parties where humans have held bottles, pencils, thermoses in front of themselves, and called out ‘Hey look at me, I’m Mr. So-And-So Dick! I’ve got such-and-such for a penis.’ I never saw it fail to get a laugh.”

    I’ve always found French graffiti to be a bit more artistically expressive ;-)

    The one on the bottom looks like a rhinoceros to my untrained eyes.

      Title clearly states “horses”, please continue to horse-train your eyes.

      Yup!

      It’s amazing to me that we have an illustration of a European rhino from before they died out.
