Comments

Jaskinia Altamira zawiera przykłady malarstwa jaskiniowego z okresu górnego paleolitu, od 35 000 do 11 000 pne. Pierwotna lista zawierała siedemnaście zdobionych jaskiń. Jaskinie są dobrze zachowane ze względu na ich głęboką izolację od klimatu zewnętrznego.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The Cave of Altamira contains examples of cave painting from the Upper Paleolithic period, ranging from 35,000 to 11,000 BC. The original listing contained seventeen decorated caves. The caves are well-preserved because of their deep isolation from the external climate.
