An explorer in France has discovered paintings that are even older than those in the famous Lascaux caves, which are nearby. The paintings, found in November but kept secret until now, are an estimated 25,000 years old -- one highlight is a single hand drawn in cobalt blue. Image from Lascaux Caves
