12 September 1940 - A WORLD SEALED AWAY FROM TIME IS FOUND UNDER FRENCH
SOIL: Marcel Ravidat, 18, finds a narrow entrance into a series of caves beneath the fields of Dordogne, France, and comes back with three
friends to explore the subterranean world. There they gaze upon the
vivid Lascaux cave paintings that experts will later date to over 17,000
years old.
The entrance to the Lascaux Cave was discovered on the La
Rochefoucauld-Montbel lands by 18-year-old Marcel Ravidat when his dog,
Robot, investigated a hole left by an uprooted tree (Ravidat would
embellish the story in later retellings, saying Robot had fallen into
the cave.) Ravidat returned to the scene with three friends, Jacques
Marsal, Georges Agnel, and Simon Coencas. They entered the cave through
a 15-metre-deep (50-foot) shaft that they believed might be a legendary
secret passage to the nearby Lascaux Manor. The teenagers discovered
that the cave walls were covered with depictions of animals. Galleries
that suggest continuity, context or simply represent a cavern were given
names. Those include the Hall of the Bulls, the Passageway, the Shaft,
the Nave, the Apse, and the Chamber of Felines. They returned along with
the Abbe Henri Breuil on 21 September 1940; Breuil would make many
sketches of the cave, some of which are used as study material today due
to the extreme degradation of many of the paintings. Breuil was
accompanied by Denis Peyrony, curator of Les eyzies (Prehistory Museum)
at Les Eyzies, Jean Bouyssonie and Dr Cheynier.
