In 1940, four teenagers crawled through a small opening beneath the French countryside, reportedly searching for a legendary underground passage.
Instead, their light fell upon enormous bulls, horses, deer and bison painted across the walls.
The tunnel wasn't medieval.
The artwork was roughly 20,000 years old.
Today on Gothic Dust Diaries, we're stepping underground into Lascaux Cave—and into one of the most extraordinary accidental discoveries of the 20th century.
