Cave drawings have been found in many countries around the world, but two well-known locations are Lascaux in France and Altamira in Spain. These caves contain prehistoric art that date back thousands of years.
In Europe there are such paintings in some French caves (e.g. Lascaux), in Spain Altamira Cave, in Russia in the Ural mountain caves.
The Altamira caves contain prehistoric paintings created by early humans. The paintings depict various animals, such as bison, horses, and deer, as well as geometric shapes. The art is predominantly found on the ceiling and upper walls of the caves.
