I think that they should keep the caves closed from public access. I believe that prehistoric caves with preserved art that starts to deteriorate due to human disturbances should be closed to preserve the findings for professionals and for future generations. The cave in Lascaux has wall art showing the animal life living around the artists. There are over 1500 pictures of animals and proof of wild life from centuries before. Humans are not depicted naturally; …showed first 75 words of 631 total…

…showed last 75 words of 631 total…returned to the state it was in on the day of its discovery.”(The Lascaux Cave website). I think we need to stop making the entrances and caverns so accessible because humans have already done enough damage and there is proof that increased disturbance means increased deterioration. Now, what is left is being preserved and checked and monitored daily by the Laboratoire de recherché des Monuments Historiques (L.R.M.H. Historic monuments research laboratory).
