Cave of Forgotten Dreams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is fascinanting; these cave paintings were made by people that in some respects lived like the Na´vi.

Interesting, I may have to see this :)

I saw it a while ago. Clearly fascinating. The depth of the cave, the relations between the different paintings and the way the paintings followed the curvature of the cave walls really was accentuated and made visible by the 3D technique. These paintings are 32 000 years old and really masterly crafted.

In the film we also were able to follow some of the researchers that study the old masterpieces. On top of that we got some philosophical musings by the director Werner Herzog himself.
