Hundreds of ancient drawings cover the interior walls of the cave,

including depictions of lions, rhinos, deer, and even woolly mammoths. But one particular drawing possesses even greater significance.

In the drawing, a deer appears surrounded by bursts of light, but layer-by-layer analysis has shown that these bursts may be part of an earlier drawing.

The original image underneath is even more powerful, as it appears to represent an exploding volcano.

The legendary scene depicted would have been seen by generation after generation before it was covered by the deer,

likely accompanied by epic tales of the gods responsible for

such destruction. But this prehistoric legend was confirmed to be genuine historical record in

2016. Carbon dating found that the drawing was created around 35,000 years ago. According to geologists

around this time, there was an active volcano merely 20 miles northwest of the Chauvet Cave.

And on a date remarkably close to the drawings creation, that volcano erupted, hurling torrents of lava and ash into the air.

This undeniable overlap between the hidden drawing and nearby volcanic eruption has led researchers to believe the painting almost certainly documents

an eruption of this kind.
