World's oldest animal cave painting in Indonesia - BBC News

[@LEO-xo9cz]

The number of records being broken by ancient finds lately is insane. One thing after the next.

[@erepsekahs]

You are quite correct in noting that new discoveries do come after older discoveries ("one thing after the next") and new discoveries are never discovered before the older discoveries. Thanks for that.

[@generalbaguette3489]

Probably what happens when most places are empty and become easier to explore

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Indeed. There are 3 caves in Iberia where Neanderthals painted animals, that have been dated to at least 65,000 years ago, that's 20,000 years older than these Indonesian paintings.

new age nonsense.

[@didjeridu100]

Those islands of Indonesia are an archeological treasure trove. I am absolutely sure more ancient treasures will be found. Imagine how much culture, history and biology being lost from the devastating cutting down of the rainforest. I love Indonesia... and have been traveling around the islands several times. Hopefully, they'll be able to conserve these paintings. Also, I hope they had scientists measuring the age of those paintings... because I remember coming to several villages where people would try to convince me, that some of their elders were more than 200 years old.

[@alexbaum2204]

I feel the same way about those islands. My longest love affair, so to speak. Have been fascinated since boyhood. Was lucky enough to live there and travel extensively for over a decade. Now I just miss (and worry about) the place to no end. I’m very excited for finds like this. It’s one thing to tell the government there is an exceedingly rare species of plant or animal living in an area (which happens all the time in that country), but it’s much tougher for the government to ignore the WORLD’S OLDEST CAVE ART!!!! How spectacular!!! The archaeologist in the end is totally right: the people of Indonesia should be brimming with pride about this! And again, I’m stoked because it means this wonderful area (the karsts of Moros) will likely be much better preserved now. There are several large open pit mines and concrete factories in the area. I can’t imagine they’ll be granted many more concessions within this particular geological complex, given that more art is just waiting to be discovered. And that is great news for anyone concerned about the area’s ecosystems. I wish more people would pay attention to this corner of the world. There is so much important stuff going on there with such huge implications.

[@didjeridu100]

@@alexbaum2204 I absolutely hear and agree with you. My more than 20-year "love affair" (to use your phrasing) with Indonesia has given me two beautiful sons (on their way to their adulthoods) 🙏🏼 Since 2000, I've been following how Indonesia has managed - or mostly mismanaged - their nature conservation. Old forests have immensely decreased in size and a lot of things have worsened. Even national parks haven't been safe. I've had the opportunity to get a bit more insight in how nature has been neglected and how forests and natural habitats have been given little to no value, and have been "replaced" by vast areas of intensive monocultures - mostly palm oil plantations. As an Indonesian interpreter, I have helped different organizations translating Indonesian documents documenting/confirming the devastating illegal clearing of the forests. Unfortunately, a lot of people think short term profits... and not enough has been done to help preserve prestine rainforests with everything they include. Take care.

[@Bert-vf1zm]

Maybe they were hoping to catch some really massive animals? I know that some cave paintings are believed to have been a way of preparing for a hunt, in a spiritual sense. Praying they're successful, that they catch something that will keep them fed for a while, etc. Animals were also the main focus of the work, so it could just be them focusing on the important bits and the humans are just an afterthought to the painting. Animals were often considered divine and painted as a thank you for the sustenance they provided. There could be many reasons really. You'd have to have an understanding of their culture to make a real educated guess.

[@IsraIsra.]

2:57 using three ropes and five men to control an animal is clearly show how big and powerful was the animal. Today people catch elephants like this or we can see mammoths in movies.May be mostly animals were massive like mammoths.

it is in a cave so probably meant to teach their children. If a person draw this for art sake that make less sense (because why?), so what we saw is probably for children or small person that haven't oriented with hunting yet.
