the cave that descends into hell
polycounter lvl 6
...or the cave of forgotten dreams(which sounds like an MMO instance).
"There's a cave in France where no humans have been in 26,000 years. The walls are full of fantastic, perfectly-preserved paintings of animals, ending in a chamber full of monsters 1312-feet underground, where CO2 and radon gas concentrations provoke hallucinations."
One of the monsters was described as a half-woman half-bison. I've done some superficial searchig for some of the more interesting paintings but haven't found 'em yet. This sounds like a pretty badass documentary in general but especially for anyone interested in the beginnings of art. Here's a link to the gizmodo article:

kind of ironic how they chose to shoot this 3-d tho... I'm sure it makes that half-mm thick coating of charcoal and berry paste really jump right off the wall.
