Stone Age humans carved a map of their territory into the floor of a cave in modern France .

Chipping away to create indentations for basins, these cartographers then cut grooves into the cave floor to represent rivers and gullies.

The map would be 13,000 years old if it corresponds to other activity in the cave.

Segnole 3 is well known for containing artistic engraving of two female horses on either side of another depiction of an equine sexual organ.
