Fun fact, it’s actually been theorized that overlapping cave paintings like that were essentially a rudimentary form of animation, as flickering firelight would create the illusion of movement.
what a rollercoaster of emotions: “please just have a video- oh they do! great. oh hold on that’s a terrible video that shows absolutely nothing and just gives me a headache with its 5 frames per second, why did they even bother?”
I appreciate that you stated it in a way that the fun fact is there’s a theory, and not that the theory was definitive fact. But it definitely seems plausible.

Look for a documentary called “Cave Of Forgotten Dreams” by Werner Herzog, about this cave.
