As reported by Sofia News Agency, a photographic display installed in 2009 made it possible to see these unique but inaccessible cave paintings.
In western Romania, the age of what may be Europe's oldest cave art yet to be discovered has been estimated by French paleontologists. These beautiful animal paintings link the Coliboaia caves to painted caves across Europe and may indicate cultural links between the peoples who created them. The cave paintings resemble others found in Russia, France, Spain and elsewhere in Europe.
Dr. Jean Clottes, a French expert on ancient cave art, has confirmed that these paintings are among the most ancient in Europe, dating them, incredibly, at up to 35,000 years of age.
