Researchers say that the engravings in the cave are the oldest of their kind ever discovered in the Spanish autonomous region of Catalonia.

Due to the nature of the material that they were created in, the archaeologists say that the engravings can be easily damaged or destroyed with even minimal contact—so extreme care must be taken when investigating them.

In fact, many of the representations have already been damaged or erased altogether—and for this reason, the public will not be allowed to view the engravings in the cave. Nevertheless, a team from IPHES and the Ministry of Culture, Generalitat de Catalunya—the regional government of Catalonia—is now working to document the engravings using special 3D-scanning technology. Once complete, this initiative will enable researchers to study the artworks without putting them at risk of damage or destruction.Spain is home to several notable examples of prehistoric rock art, in particular the region of Cantabria in the north of the country.

Cantabria is also home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Altamira which features several renowned prehistoric artworks.

Mom Still Seething Over Car That Blew Through Stop Sign 15 Years AgoAUGUSTA, GA—Tightening her grip on the steering wheel as she approached the notorious intersection, local mom Helen Schumacher was reportedly still seething Monday over a car that blew through a stop sign 15 years ago. “It was so inconsiderate—they clearly saw me,” said Schumacher, who furrowed her brow and shook her head while recalling how the vehicle blatantly sped right through the crossing without any regard for oncoming traffic. “It’s so dangerous! I still remember that it was a white Camry. I almost honked. And you know there’s a school right down the street! It’s like the driver didn’t think that he could’ve gotten hurt too.” At press time, Schumacher conceded that at least it wasn’t as bad as the time in 2002 when that blue Taurus pulled out of the Sears parking lot like “a total maniac.” Please stop writing articles about me me too, mom Dad too.
