The marvelous cave of Altamira, has gone untouched and preserved for thousands of years. since it was rediscovered, tourists and archeologists have been entering the cave to admire the beautiful paintings. The only downfall to this however, because the cave has gone undisturbed for such a long period of time, the ancient art is not used to the artificial light that we use to examine the work. Because of this human interference, the artifacts have begun to grow mold.
The cave has been closed from the public since 2002. only now is the cave being partially reopened. Only to test whether it is safe for the art. scientists argue that humans who enter the cave, alter the temperature, carbon dioxide levels, and even the humidity. Not to mention the air flow of human movements causes erosion of the cave walls.
