Ellen Lloyd – AncientPages.com – Cosquer Cave is the world’s only underwater Stone Age cave and a marvelous place where archaeologists have discovered mysterious paintings created by our long-gone ancestors.
Located in the Calanque de Morgiou in Marseille, France, the underwater Cosquer Cave is home to 500 extraordinary paintings and engravings. The cave drawings were made during two epochs of occupation in this part of the world. The first paintings were created 27,000 years ago, and later, 19,000 years ago, cave artists produced more beautiful drawings on the walls.
