Animal painting found in cave is 44k years old
You might also find the red ladder from la pasiega cave in Spain of interest. It's 65,000 years old which means it was painted by Neanderthals (based on current knowledge).<p>It blows my mind to think that another human species walked on this same planet and drew this art. To me, that's as profound as the discovery, if ever, of another intelligent species in the universe.<p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/feb/22/neanderthals-not-humans-were-first-artists-on-earth-experts-claim" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/feb/22/neanderthals...</a><p>Also worth considering, is the art of Chauvet Cave and the excellent Werner Herzog documentary about it. The artistry is incredible. It stands up to anything we could draw today.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauvet_Cave" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauvet_Cave</a><p>This art from when I last read is considered to have been done around the time that Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals were both present in Europe. It's incredible to see that these people who lived in ancient France where drawing wild animals such as Rhinos and Lions.
