Yes Cole, the paintings were made in series so by torchlite that they used because the evidence of it is still there, the drawings give the effect that the horses are moving! Pretty smart and and drawings aren't crude but quite artistic and real looking. Although they found bear bones and other animal bones there was no human bones! The people used the caves for ceremonial purposes and not to live in. There's also drawing on stalactite of a woman's lower body and pelvic region. Sort of Venus de milo type art. Jimbo.
