The 14th millennium BC spanned the years 14,000 BC to 13,001 BC. This millennium is during the Upper Paleolithic period. It is impossible to precisely date events that happened during this millennium, and all dates associated with this millennium are estimates mostly based on geological analysis, anthropological analysis, and radiometric dating.

Europe:

France: Lascaux Cave, a veritable gallery of rock art, also known as the "Sistine Chapel of the Palaeolithic" because of its wealth of cave paintings.

Germany: Hamburg culture of the Epigravettian type, (ca. 13,500 BC - ca. 11,200 BC), characterised by prongs and tools used as chisels in the working of horns. It spread from northern France to southern Scandinavia in the north and to Poland in the east.
