Killing Lascaux

[L Roebuck]

A most informative article by Paul Bahn is in the May/June 2008 issue of Archaeology magazine.

Killing Lascaux
Inept bureaucrats and ceeping fungi are destroying the world's most famous cave paintings

The article also contains a link to the International Committee for the Preservation of Lascaux (ICPL) www.savelascaux.org/

Lynn tells me this is the best article she has ever read on Lascaux. Both of us got the rare opportunity to see the real thing in 2001 and would hate for buffoonery to be the cause of damage to the art inside. It is truly a world class marvel and should be protected to the best abilities of the caretakers. Egos, politics, and greed need to get out of the way to let reason and modern science attempt to repair and correct things before it is too late.
