We all rely on maps, be they the sat nav in your car or a traditional A-Z, and archaeologists have found our ancient ancestors were no different. They have unearthed what they believe to be the oldest map in Western Europe, in a Spanish cave steeped in legend. The complex etchings were engraved on a hand-sized rock 13,660 years ago, probably by Magdalenian hunter-gatherers.
