When I read the title, I was like: “don’t most caves predate the Stone Age?” Interesting video
They do. They date the stone. All stones are from stone age. 🤣
Sooo cool!
Awesome! 🤌🏻
I'm lucky to live in Marseille and have visited the cosquer cave, if you are travelling to France or the region, I highly recommend you (I loved it) it's worth a visit! 😎👍
Cool man... Should we have to go by water transport?
U went to the real cave or the remodel one?
J'y vais mardi !!!
so cool!
Seal the entrance, dig an above water entrance to connect to the cave further up. Pump the water out. Now you can preserve it. Or not. Just a thought.
Or or or.
The gases that destory the paintings 😂
That’s impressive
I've been there, didn't need scuba equipment, Just held my breath and swam my way. Pretty easy
youre amazing
imagine being in that cave with just a torch, no shoes and some chalk
With the cave entrance being far above the surface of the water 33,000yrs ago and the yearly rise in sea level being 3.4mm, the math checks out.
Humans: Look what a great cave!
Sea level rise: You can't have nice things.
Human hands parts are missing: guessing that they may fold their fingers and drawn.. it may be some symbols.
can really see where we got our ideas for cathedrals
22M euros? Who funds these things?!!
What do you do for a living?
I replicate underwater stone age caves.
Wat?
Perfectly.
huh...
So what do you do?
Accountant.
Slow nods with slight frown. Im gunna go spruce up my drink. Walks away with entourage.
Please brick it up, drain it, and create a new entrance. Then all artwork can be examined, even the underwater parts.
Dude its an underwater cave, how much more underwater do u think it will get? Loool
Cosquer Méditerranée
If threaten they should do everything to get the originals out.
Soon that cave will be gone to history and they're not even allowing people to go look at it while it's still here? That's messed up
Exactly
how are they meant to let people in?
@@Macarite by not restricting access
@@aprayingatheist2378 then you’re liable for inexperienced divers drowning. It was open to the public previously and exactly this happened. Also you’d need 24/7 security and monitoring to prevent theft and degradation. Quite an operation.
How on earth would the cave drawings be so high up on the walls if they were hard to reach without any water being in there? Not saying I domt believe it was dry before...just wondering how they got way up there to do the drawings
sure, now explain how would they dive 20 meters then go on 175m tunnel to the cave underwater
Erosion maybe
Ladders make way more sense then the prehistoric lads swimming down there to doodle.
@@aleksandarzahariev9886 I went to that museum and it seems it was from an age when there was no water covering the entrance (the sea level was way lower ages ago) So they would go through the tunnels to reach the cave walking, not swimming.
@@aleksandarzahariev9886 It was not underwater back then! They said that in the video!
The dude went in there and drew all the pictures to make his discovery even more popular.
🤔🤔🤔
For 24 mill they could have blocked off the entrance and drilled and entrance from above.
If nature is going to destroy it anyways then they might as well open it up to divers. Why let the precious time it has go to waste? Only us humans can appreciate what the is cave is anyways. The fish don’t care. Just make the trips down there small and guided to keep it safe.
Can’t go see the thing eh?
it's amazing to think that god put these paintings here as a test
Even more amazing... he lets it be filled by the sea now. What a prankster!
spanish
so true
The "climate change" warning at the end of the video was pretty amusing. If it wasn't for the Holocene glacial melt (climate change) the cave wouldn't have flooded in the first place. Also, if the sea level was 100 meters lower 27000 years ago, then any older civilizations would be completely removed from the archeological record.
The cave entrance used to be above sea level, More proof that the planet has been warming for thousands of years and isn't a new phenomenon.
Yeah but the globalists don't want you to know that. They want you to give everything up because of ''global warming''. They want you to think we're going to die in the next 20 years because of it. 🤣
Bot says what?
Considering these are 33,000 years old and the last Ice Age peaked approximately 20,000 years ago. I'd say you're a tad confused...
@@HandleDeezNutzVoluntarily it’s you who are confused, these are estimated to be 20-30 thousand years old.
@@ecosphereworld2138 Thanks for clarification buddy…
Why spend 24 million dollars in a replica when you can spend that in better things
What a stupid thing to do... People are not getting at least fair wages, pension etc in France and incompetent government is spending millions on this stupid thing... Bravo mercy...
What d you expect from FRENCH.
Gotta throw a climate change bit in there of course... lol
I knew it was coming
Wow it's as if the climate is always changing weird or what 😝
The entrance to the cave was once at ground level. Four-fifths of the cave is flooded, as the glaciers melt - putting it 100 meters underwater.
Now the narrator says climate change, cow burps and holiday flights are going to finish it off. You can't change s¿?¿? ¿?d
How will 'climate change' affect the cave? The entrance is already inder water so what will change that could affect it?
