Replicating the Lascaux cave to unlock the secrets of the world-famous Paleolithic cave

The Lascaux Cave, discovered in the southwestern part of France in Sept 1940, is one of the largest and most renowned complex of decorated Palaeolithic art caves. After 20 years, during which hordes of visitors flocked to see the impressive sketches, the cave had to be shut down in order to preserve the paintings from mould and bacteria. For over 50 years now, the cave has kept its secrets to itself. In December 2016, a life-size copy of the entire cave will be inaugurated and opened to the public. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 01:15 - The true story of the discovery of the Lascaux cave in 1940 and its opening to the public ▷ 05:22 The concept of Lascaux IV, an unprecedented project to reproduce the Palaeolithic cave ▷ 08:15 - 3D survey of the cave for an accurate geological and artistic reproduction ▷ 10:55 - Geological history of Lascaux and formation of the cave ▷ 16:10 - Assembly of the rock walls, an extraordinary and gigantic process ▷ 20:00 - Painting the frescoes identically with 3D digital clones ▷ 24:00 - The meaning of the paintings: naturalistic and symbolic frescoes ▷ 26:00 - The mystery of the “man” on the fresco ▷ 28:36 - Making Lascaux IV an unparalleled sensory and historical experience ▷ 32:35 - Painting techniques, including the age-old stencil technique ▷ 37:40 - Protecting the cave from damage ▷ 41:00 - Highly technical final operation with certain risks ▷ 49:00 - Conclusion ▷ 53:35 - Credits #documentary #history #grottedelascaux #lascaux #science #prehistory #archaeology #art #paleolithic #wocomoHISTORY ------- Subscribe to wocomoHISTORY: https://goo.gl/oXDoxY Follow us on Facebook:   / wocomo   ------- This film offers a unique insight into this unmatched human and technical adventure.
