I watched the Herzog doc “Cave of Forgotten Dreams” [0] a few weeks ago and highly recommend it (about cave art ~30~15kya; borrowed the dvd from local library). There are some goofy bits but overall is amazing.
My favorite part is how there are different paintings in the same cave separated by around 4k years — some “tracing” the previous paintings.
It reminds me how Ancient Egypt had such a long history there were Egyptologists within ancient Egypt. [1]
