"It figures; the first pictures ever recorded are cat pictures. The internet is just another cave wall we've come to scribble on," reddit user tyrionlannister wrote. 

The Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave in the Ardèche department of southern France is a cave that contains the earliest known and best preserved figurative cave paintings in the world, as well as other evidence of Upper Paleolithic life.

"Fun fact; the flickering and bodily duplication of these animal figures was likely not unintentional or simply due to an unfamiliarity with surface and medium. Rather, these ancient artists were making primitive animations. When viewed with the inconsistent light of a torch or fire, the drawings come alive, charging across the walls much like an early zoetrope," wrote list_less.

Check out the video below to see how the animation would have looked!
