Around 4,000 years ago, Neolithic painters in south-eastern France immortalized warriors, battle scenes and burials on a cliff. Now 120 of their works have just been discovered.As the French regional newspaper La Provence reported on Wednesday, the paintings were discovered on a cliff in the Mercantour National Park in the French Maritime Alps, only about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the "Vallee des Merveilles," or the "Valley of Wonders," which is known for its some 40,000 Stone Age rock engravings.
The newly discovered paintings, which are estimated to be 4,000 years old, depict warriors, combat operations and funerals.
