The Cro-Magnon man painted astonishing paintings on rock walls, deep within caves. The cave paintings were mostly focused on hunters and animals; early man used natural colors for his art. Most art was not made with charcoal; instead they used mineral pigments, for example like iron oxide or black manganese. In order for early man to enter caves they had to crawl through mazes of narrow dark tunnels. All these paintings were hidden deep within the darkest portions of th cave.
Some students, near the Lascaux Caves in France, accidentally discovered the existance of cave paintings. Once people knew the early man paintings existed, people began looking for these cave paintings and soon found them. Nobody knows why early man drew these paintings in caves, and why in such dark secret hidden places. Archeologists think it was one of man's earliest recreational activities is or it had to do with their religion or rites of manhood. Nobody knows, it is a enthralling mystery.
