An incredible new\u00a0archeological find was announced this week. Another prehistoric cave painting has been discovered which authorities are guessing to be from the upper Paleolithic period, about 35,000 years ago. The painting was found in the caves known as the Chauvet Site. This is the same site which has become famous for the beautiful rock wall illustrations from the same time period.<\/p>\n

The discovered 30,000 year old rock painting \u2013 \u201cMan Discovers Fire!\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

Dr. Jean-Marie Chauvet, who was involved in the first series of discoveries at this site, will be handling the scientific investigation of this new find. When further questioned by our reporter, Chauvet had this comment. \u201cThis is perhaps the greatest find in the history of paleographic study. For now we are calling this illustration \u201cMan Discovers Fire\u201d. Unlike the other drawings we have found within the cave, this one is in vivid colors and has been painted on what appears to be a stretched animal hide. If authentic, it is miraculous the way this cave painting has been preserved.<\/p>\n

My associate, Dr. Christian Hillaire, believes that it is the first know warning, or how do you say?, a Caution sign. He could be correct, however I believe this painting could be the first sign ever to show the way. My English is poor. What I mean it is like \u2026 it is \u2026 I think it is the first EXIT sign created by man! If you notice the person, the creature, who is in flames is running away from the fire. The exact position we found this painting was with this human fire creature running towards the door of the cave! It could be some sort of religious symbol as well. \u00a0It is an incredible find and we are moving ahead with, hopefully, authenticating this art to the Aurignacian period!<\/p>\n

Obscure American artist, Tom Hicks was with a group of Chinese tourists visiting the caves just after the discovery and had this comment: \u201cHuh? Found what? Wow. That\u2019s interesting. I just got here, ya\u2019 know. So, I really don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. I\u2019m just here with these people. Boy, they\u2019re really mad that they can\u2019t take pictures. I don\u2019t speak Chinese. I think they\u2019re from there. But you could really tell they were pissed-off about the cameras. No telling what they\u2019ll do. I have to go. I don\u2019t want to get lost from the group again. Oops. I don\u2019t mean again. I just don\u2019t want to get lost. So, well, goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n

Results from carbon dating and other scientific tests should be made public within the next few months.<\/p>\n
