Explanation:

It is said that our ancient’s fathers show their idea of writing in pictorial form. Cave painting, therefore, is one of the ways they express their idea. The cave of Altamira is one of the 17 caves used by them to express their ideas. The cave painting at Altamira was discovered by a random group of the hunter in 1868. The cave is known for its drawing and painting of animals.  The discovery of the cave paintings at Altamira changes the perceptions of ancient cultures by making it very easy for them to communicate in a more specific and clear way what changed our perception of the communities of prehistory in terms of their form of communication.
