Makes you wonder if the paintings in the caves of places like Lascaux also 'danced' by firelight (some of those paintings were executed on shallow three dimensional surfaces in order to highlight the animals' contours). It is usually considered that the traces of torchlight are minimal for the main caves . Obviously lights were used it looks like there were no big crowds or toom any return visits .Interestingly there is a case of an area with a painting that would have been done " blind " , it being impossible to get your head into the hole to see what you were doing .
