A cave with vivid prehistoric engravings possibly dating as early as 28,000 B.C has been discovered in Western France, regional officials said on Wednesday. Archaeologists hailed the engravings as a major discovery. They are believed to predate the world's oldest cave paintings in the famed Lascar caves, which are about 18,000 years old.
