Features: Murals are an art form that depends on buildings, an important component of environmental art, and one of the oldest forms of painting. Archaeological discoveries show that the animal murals in the Lascaux Cave in France are the earliest records of painting in the history of human art, dating back to about 15,000 years ago. Murals faithfully document the overall appearance and changes in politics, economy, religion, philosophy, culture, and science of the cradles of various civilizations around the world, as well as the rise and fall and mutual influence of many nations throughout history. Murals have accompanied humanity's splendid civilization, leaving behind page after page of glorious chapters.
