Cindy Marroquin000423371The documentary Cave of Forgotten Dreams by Werner Herzog begins with one of the greatest discoveries in history. Starting with three explorers who traveled to the south of France in 1994. They were looking for air currents around rocks, hoping the air would lead them to caves. During their exploration and research, they discovered rocks during their narrow journey that led them to make one of the greatest discoveries in human history, a cave. At first not knowing what the cave was, upon further research they discovered art paintings, hand/bone prints and stories left behind by what they believe to be Paleolithic era. The Chavet Cave, named after one of the discoverers, contained artistic paintings that were the oldest in all of history. From now on, scientists will enter the cave with strict instructions: close the door, know the climatic conditions of the cave, use certain lighting and stay on the created walkway with two feet. Archaeologists, historians, geologists and pathologists would now carry out a study. about the cave, bringing together their individual knowledge. This study grant was the first time anyone was allowed into the cave except for senior scientists. Narrator and director Werner Herzog says, “Flesh frozen in a moment” when describing the cave. The cave was never previously discovered due to a landslide 20,000 years ago that sealed the entrance to the cave, but it now contained the discovery of the oldest painting created in all of history of humanity. These paintings included horses, mammoths, rhinos and wolves. An interesting strategy used by painters was to create animals with multiple legs, which meant that these animals moved... middle of paper ...... oy, walking alongside him, or the footprints were created years apart. each other. Some also feel that they were disrupting the work of the Paleolithic people or that they were being watched by them. The scientists enjoyed their last moments in the cave because it could be the last time they would see the cave. Scientists say we need to adapt to other Thurman groups and communicate memories. They also claim that the invention of communication is important because it is the best way to transfer communication. Some time later, France's largest power station was located 47 kilometers from the cave, creating a tropical biosphere. The greenhouses are getting bigger and even have crocodiles to cool the reactor. Werner Herzog ends the documentary by saying: "Are we today the crocodiles who look into an abyss of time when we see paintings in a cave"."?
