France’s Lascaux caves have long been celebrated as one of the world’s best examples of Paleolithic art. These 35,000-year-old animal depictions were thought to have represented life during the hunting season, but French researcher Chantal Jegues-Wolkiewiez has theorized that in actuality, these murals are a celestial map of the night sky. The National Geographic Channel airs a program about her theory tonight at 10 p.m., and it’s got me thinking I need to set my DVR.

    For those doubters of the validity of this theory, read the book of enoch, it is a well known and now found ancient text of the story of Enoch. In it, the the book of astronomy, it lays out all of the points of the son and moon in relation to the periods of the year, it can be read here. http://www.ancienttexts.org/library/ethiopian/enoch/3astron/astro.htm
