~34,000 BCE Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc CaveChauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave in southern France. Radiocarbon dating of eighty charcoal samples puts the majority of the paintings at around 36,000 years ago, in the Aurignacian — the earliest human use of the cave at about 36,500. A rockfall sealed it roughly 21,000 years ago, which is why it survived.The 'Venus Pendant’ (wall art) captures a very precise zodiacal procession as also recorded by Adam's Calendar.
