Cave art in the tropics

In this Nature Video, we explore a cave in Indonesia that’s home to some of the oldest paintings in the world. The hand stencils and paintings of animals were created between 35,000 and 40,000 years ago – making them at least as old as similar artwork in Europe.

I love how the pig paining has the hand stencil right next to it, I wonder if the hand stencil is like a signature...

45, 000 years ago their ancestors made riches as beautiful as this is a very extraordinary thing, Their ancestors were intelligent since time immemorial.

I wish I could experience the consciousness of the humans who made this. Not to glorify it but just out of deep curiosity.

Super neat-portable rock art is a piece of the cave that they took with them. Unrecognizable that first these multi faceted complex styles of art or a key to our consciousness and our history. I urge you to take a look at the citizens who are researching this topic! 🗿👍😁

Very thought provoking and incredibly fascinating. Glad I came across this today.

maybe fun to know: in the Netherlands, a signature is called a handdrawing (dutch: handtekening)

45, 000 years ago there was no Asia, Indonesia or Europe. And there weren't millions and millions of people on these continents. Only thousands. Amazing

Back in the day it was a theater with brilliantly decorated walls done by the students, This was where the Anunnaki trained the young slaves other trades aside from mining gold, such as hunting and gathering. A select few would learn the art of stone masonry and pyramid building, but those trades were taught off world. The time period is approx. 100, 000 years ago.

I guess I should tell my Sunday School teacher about this, on second thought I was raised 1st Unitarian, Plymouth Rock style, you dig?

How do you know Neanderthal didn't paint these beautiful art.

Morphogenetic fields! .
Another explanation is a kind unfolding of the evolutionary growth of a species. Like 2 baby's on different continents will start speaking at about the same age (once stimulated)

[ChrisH-bxor]
