On the afternoon of December 18th, 1994, three amateur cave explorers were walking the base of a limestone cliff in the Ardèche gorge of southern France when one of them felt a breath of cold air coming out of the rock. Not a draft from a doorway. Not wind moving across the cliff face. A thin, steady current of air leaking from a hole barely wide enough to push an arm through, at the back of a small cave that hikers passed every single day without stopping. Jean-Marie Chauvet felt it on his hand and understood immediately what it meant. Air moving through solid stone means there is space behind the stone. And space behind the stone, in that particular valley, had a habit of holding things that no living person had ever seen.
