Here in Camden, we have some cave paintings of our own, I’ll tell you. I noticed this one while out walking the dogs near the pond this evening. I am saying it is 17,001 years old, and represents the first known instance of an Irish Setter.
The better known Lascaux is the setting of a complex of caves in southwestern France famous for its Paleolithic cave paintings. The original caves are located near the village of Montignac, in the Dordogne département. They contain some of the best-known Upper Paleolithic art. These paintings are estimated to be 17,000 years old. They primarily consist of realistic images of large animals, most of which are known from fossil evidence to have lived in the area at the time. (OURS, here in Camden, are at least 17,001 years old, as I mentioned earlier.) Rock on.
