Thats super cool. Is there a link to view the non drawn over images? I can kinda make out it's carved into the rock on the first one but the rest are kinda hard to parse the actual carvings in.

    Oh right! Yeah, makes sense they'd emphasize the drawings so people could see the images... my dumb ass was sitting here thinking it was fake, because no way those colours would still be that vivid after 12 thousand years... I need another coffee clearly
