" Within this cave, raised 20 meters above the valley, there is no trace human life. No signs of stone tools, discarded bones, and cooking fires are found anywhere within the cave or in the chamber beneath. That begs to ask was this raised mural; with mythical hunters and proportionally large legendary prey, upon this cave wall part of a spiritual place."

20 meters above the valley
No trace of human life
No stone tools, bones, cooking fire
No signs of daily living with the cave or chamber beneath

Interpreting these "seem" to indicate they held the cave as a special place insomuch as one today regard a church. If one thinks of a modern day church with its murals, stained glass windows, statues, icons, relics, etc. - it is not a far stretch to think these early humans had their special places also that they would not defile with everyday activities and objects.
