Researchers have discovered a remarkable engraving in the Ségognole 3 cave in France, believed to be the oldest three-dimensional map in existence. The study suggests that Paleolithic hunter-gatherers created a scale model of the surrounding landscape over 20,000 years ago, depicting water flow and geographical features. This model, located on the cave floor, features carved channels and basins that align with the natural topography, reflecting nearby rivers and hills. Engravings of horses and female forms found alongside may symbolize the blend of regional features and cultural elements. The research proposes that the carvings not only represent geographic details but also highlight symbolic significance related to femininity during the Upper Paleolithic era, underlining the complex relationship these ancient people had with their environment.
