October
18, 2003:
In 1985, Henri Cosquer, a professional deep-sea diver from Cassis, France,
discovered a cave approximately 120 feet below sea level at Cape Morgiou
near Marseille. It was several years - 1991 - before the prehistoric
paintings and engravings of the cave - above the waterline in a large
chamber - were even noticed.
Ark
and I spent the past week in Marseille at a
CIRM conference where Ark was scheduled to speak. We didn't have
too much time for sightseeing due to the conference schedule, but we
did manage to pay a visit to Cape Morgiou and Cassis. On our way home
we also managed to visit the house of Nostradamus in Salon de Provence,
but more on that will come as I can get it written. For the moment,
I want to share with all of our readers some of the marvelous scenery
of the region, as well as the great mystery of the Cosquer Cave.

we see Ark standing at the entrance to the CIRM building where there
are offices, conference facilities, guest quarters and a dining
room presided over by a marvelous chef. CIRM - Centre International
de Rencontres Mathematiques - is located in Luminy just to the
East of Marseille. It is only a short drive to Cassis - the home
of the man who gave his name to the Cosquer Cave. |

|
| I
took the above shot through the windshield of the car to give you
an idea of what it is like to drive into and out of Marseille from
Cassis. The road winds up and down the mountains and the strata
of millions of years is evident where tectonic forces have sheared
the mountains, carving stark valleys in a landscape that is thrilling
in every sense of the word. |
|
|
| If
you look down from the road that runs between Marseille and Cassis,
you can see Marseille... the view is marvelous at night... |
|
|
| The
views on either side are also breathtaking... |
|
|
| Looking
toward Cassis, we see our destination - Cap Canaille - the highest
sea cliff in Europe, (nearly 400 meters / 1400 ft) high. |
|
|
| As
we climb the steep switch-back road up the Cap, we are able to look
down on Cassis... |
|
|
| We
stopped half way up Cap Canaille to snap a photo of Cassis...
|
|
|
| And
here is Cassis from the top of the cliffs... Notice the little beach
in the smaller of the two bays above... we will soon be there... |
|
|
| If
you look straight down from the edge of the cliff, this is what
you will see. The trees along the water's edge are actually pretty
big... |
|
|
| As
we were driving back to Cassis, I noticed an odd pile of rocks off
to the right at the very top of Cap Canaille. We pulled off the
road to inspect it and it certainly looked like some sort of altar.
|
|
|
| Obviously,
strange things go on in France as elsewhere. A closer inspection
of the "altar" revealed scattered bones and a clump of
blondish hair. |
