    Many question from people who are not aware of the layout of the cave. The entrance is underwater but the cave itself is just above the water. From the entrance you rise up a sloping tunnel until you reach the cave, also rising above the water level as you do. The cave is not air tight, the rock being porous, so the entrance can not be sealed to save it from the rising water.

    I would like to know if any of the paintings are under the water. That would show if the cave really was exposed at one time.

      It was in fact exposed, there is only 1 tunnel that leads to thar cave and it is entirely submerged underwater. There was no way for them to even reach that far into the cave without drowning.

    24 million sounds like a lot for a copy at first, but they made the money back in a few years and then they made a profit. The 800,000 visitors in the first year alone brought in between 4-6 million from admission. They also sell souvenirs. This gives young and old the opportunity to take a look into the past, even if the original cave will soon be gone. The investment makes sense.

      Narrator said they’ll be completely covered in a few decades. The most aggressive I’ve heard is the sea level rising like a few centimeters in 100 years.

    They should build a damn around it and pump out the water and secure the place. The replica can never replicate the real magic of it. I'd rather see someone filming the real than be at the replica
