Reproduire la grotte de Lascaux pour percer les secrets de la célèbre grotte paléolithique

In the Dordogne region of southwest France, a cave houses the most complex and renowned of the parietal works: Lascaux. Here, 18,000 years ago, the first humans occupied a cavity to create a sanctuary. Few have been able to discover these works, as the cave has been closed since 1963 for its preservation. Since then, Lascaux has retained all its mysteries. But that was without counting on a team of artists who decided to take on a unique challenge: creating a life-size, exact copy of the entire cave! ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 01:15 - The true story of the discovery of the Lascaux cave in 1940 and its opening to the public ▷ 05:22 The concept of Lascaux IV, a unique project to reproduce the Paleolithic cave ▷ 08:15 - 3D survey of the cave for a precise geological and artistic reproduction ▷ 10:55 - Geological history of Lascaux and formation of the cave ▷ 16:10 - Assembling the rock walls, an extraordinary and gigantic process ▷ 20:00 - Painting the frescoes identically using 3D digital cloning ▷ 24:00 - The meaning of the paintings: naturalistic and symbolic frescoes ▷ 26:00 - The mystery of "the man" in the fresco ▷ 28:36 - Making Lascaux IV a unique sensory and historical experience ▷ 32:35 - Painting techniques, including stenciling, which is thousands of years old ▷ 37:40 - Protecting the cave from deterioration ▷ 41:00 - A highly technical final maneuver with certain risks ▷ 49:00 - Conclusion ▷ 53:35 - Credits #documentary #history #lascauxcave #lascaux #science #prehistory #archaeology #art ------- Subscribe to the channel: https://goo.gl/4bVtZk Follow us on Facebook:   / wocomo   ------- For one year, "Lascaux, how to save 18,000 years of history?" will follow this incredible human and technical adventure, where dozens of trades collaborate around the digital clone of Lascaux—a 3D scan of the cave. We will follow every stage of the process, from the milling of polystyrene blocks to the shaping of the walls, the casting, and finally the extremely precise, millimeter-accurate creation of the drawings and engravings of early man. Alongside the creation of this facsimile, we will revisit the history of the Lascaux cave, its geological genesis, its contemporary destiny, and in particular its incredible discovery by four teenagers during the Second World War. Simon Coencas, co-discoverer of Lascaux, will tell us about this special day that would change his life. We will also hear from numerous international researchers, anthropologists, historians, and naturalists. Great prehistorians such as Yves Coppens and Jean-Michel Geneste will shed light on the subject. The documentary will also reveal the latest hypotheses about the meaning and use of these frescoes!
