The Lascaux cave contains approximately 2,000 ancient paintings and engravings dated to around 15,000–17,000 years old.
Notes on verification
Multiple independent sources (Britannica, World History Encyclopedia, others) corroborate the combined total of ~2,000 paintings/engravings and the 15,000-17,000 year dating.
