how would they have gotten into the cave if there was ice on the sea?

All the ice during the ice age came from water.

So the water level was lower during the ice age, when it melted, which it still is today, the water lever raised.

There's also the Gibraltar opening that filled up the Mediterranean sea, with all the great flood, Moses and Sodom and Gomorrah bible stories it created, man.

Their end of the world.

lol did a quick estimation :), the cave is 36 meters below sea level if all that water of all oceans and sea deposited on land and poles that would be about 50 meters or more snow since we know that the sea in France was not frozen, because then there would be about 50 meters of snow on the ice and the cave would still be inaccessible, not a single tree or plant or seed thereof on the northern hemisphere would have survived that, so i say bullshit theory.

Put snow in a cup and melt it see how much water you have left.

Tectonic plates drop and rise all the time, this is the only explanation.

Yes. The sea in France was not frozen.

However, a lot of norther Europe was. Russia. The south of South America.

In North America, all of Canada and half of the USA was under ice that was about 3000m thick in some places.

When it started to melt, there was nothing else than bare bedrock, sand, rocks. All the nature we have today started from scratch on that bare exposed rock, which is why, where I live, the soil is very thin.

When all that ice started to melt, which it's still is today, the water level raise by... a lot. Which changed the life of many humans in those days. Atlantis is probably a real place, somewhere under the ocean.
