Marcel Ravidat discovered
Lascaux in 1940 after his dog fell into a hole. He returned with his friends to search for the dog, venturing down into a fifty foot cave passageway, where he found his dog, and much more. This cave contained an enormous collection of prehistoric art. Over two thousand images are painted on the walls of the eight hundred foot long cave. Seventeen year-old Marcel Ravidat, on a walk with his dog through the woods near his small hometown in southern France, happened to discover something incredible.
It’s a disappointing truth that there aren’t many physical places to explore, there won’t be any more Ferdinand Magellans, Edmund Hillarys, or Marco Polos, reaching lands on adventurous expeditions- at least not on the surface of this planet. The awe Ravidat felt lighting a candle to illuminate huge paintings of extinct animals made by cavemen fifteen millenia ago is the same feeling every explorer lives for. There is an inherent human desire for the wonder of novelty.
