Guillaume, it was discovered that under clay and calcite deposits still unknown images were hiding. In further restoration work, it is expected to discover some previously unknown drawings and signs. The restoration of the walls significantly improved aesthetic visual perception of the object and was one of the conditions for the inclusion of the Shulgan-Tash Cave in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
