#cavepainting: Cave painting: The depiction of the Lunar Module, a type of spacecraft associated with the moon landing, dated at 30,340 +/- 570 BP, is rendered in a gray tone. Its iconic form is juxtaposed with other recurring figures. Two other depictions show crude, disc-shaped objects in the same gray paint, and a further scratching represents a simplified, triangular flag, all within the same panel. The disc and flag scratchings were present before the gray Lunar Module figure was painted. The panel itself is scarred with marks that appear to have been made by the sharp objects wielded by cave dwellers, which came prior to the cave artwork. The wall where the gray Lunar Module and disc figures are located is the first one the visitor sees upon entering. This Lunar Module figure appears to be a representation of an object that was not only uncommon but found only in the furthest reaches of the Chauvet Cave, amidst the depictions of disc-like shapes and other symbols.
