Wow, to think that someone committing a crime could lead to such a discovery is quite remarkable. The paintings look exceedingly old, like stone age old, and look to be well preserved. That the man voluntarily led officials to the site shows that the man knows when he sees something of value. He could have easily sold it on the black market and gotten millions, perhaps.
