ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bruniquel Cave

The Bruniquel Cave is a really old place where people used to live a long, long time ago. Imagine you're walking through the forest and you find a little hole in the ground. That's what the cave looks like. But once you go inside, it's really big and you can't see anything because it's really, really dark (like when you turn off the lights in your bedroom at night.)

Scientists found some special things inside the cave that helped them understand how people lived a long, long time ago. They found really old tools that were used for making things like clothes and weapons, which means people lived there a really long time ago. And not only did they find tools, but they found fire pits where people would have cooked food to eat.

But the most amazing thing scientists found was some cool artwork that was made a really long time ago. It was drawn on the walls of the cave, and it's really special because it's much older than other artwork that has been found before. The painting is of really special things like animals and handprints, and because it's so old, it helps us understand more about what people were like when they lived a long, long time ago.
