According to scientists, cave drawings of Scorpions, bulls and lions are actually constellations and were used to record important events.
One of the scenes in the cave of Lascaux, located in the area of “mine” represent the image of a falling human figure, probably a hunter who mortally wounded the Buffalo. Under the hunter is a bird similar to a duck, and the nearby figure of a rhinoceros, sent the head to the left, as if the animal runs away. In another section of the wall depicted a horse’s head.
Scientists believe that a wounded Buffalo is a constellation of Capricorn at the summer solstice, and the duck — the Libra constellation during the spring equinox. Other animals can be identified with a lion and a Calf. The arrangement of the figures indicates approximately 15150 year BC. At about this time there was global climate change, which could be caused by a comet collision with the Earth.
