• We are 3317 miles away from the caves.
• There are more than 1,500 paintings in the Lascaux Caves.
• The paintings on the cave walls have been seen a lot of  research done to them and their surroundings since 1952.   The researches have tried to find out everything then can about the caves, without hurting the caves.
• The artists of the paintings used pigments made up of materials that they had available, such as charcoal, the juices of fruit, blood of animals, and metals, such as iron.
•  There are three main themes to the paintings;
 Animals:  There are more than 600 depiction's of animals in  the caves.  The horse is the animals most often seen.  There are also ox, bison, bears, cows, and other animals that are not as well known.
