Paleolithic art brought to the light

A team of archaeologists from the Paleolithic Research Institute of Cantabria has made a 3D reconstruction of the shelf of the horses in Atxurra cave. They want to see paleolithic art with the same illumination used by its creators. They have tried different lighting systems, such as grease lamps and torches, and have carefully measured the lighting power of each one. The result of their work is really amazing.
