No, my money is on the Neanderthals. A lot of that art looks very much like Australian aboriginal art of similar vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butler Posted January 24, 2017 #82 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hand stencils in red ochre are very common all over Australia, but not too easy to find images of online. They are found across the globe. The dot paintings are also common to the aboriginal style. This is a good source for lots of aboriginal modern art, with some interpretation by artists. https://www.aboriginal-art-australia.com/aboriginal-art-library/the-story-of-aboriginal-art/ Some from Argentina. http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/south_america/cueva_dpe_los_manos/index.php In Indonesia, they may represent written language .....? http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v514/n7521/abs/nature13422.html http://www.human-resonance.org/tewet.html All very similar to El Castillo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm .... at first glance my first reaction is - nothing like it . But then again I have seen a lot of rock art . I suppose all ancient rock art looks alike in a general way. but to me, different types seems .... very different . As far as color go and the use of ochre - the neolithic palette was very limited . Again, I would recommend Werner Herzog's 'Cave of Forgotten Dreams ' - well worth watching and very revealing .

I'm busy so I suggest instead that you stand before a mirror and read out passages from Rex's most famous book; "The big book of grommetry things I made up". Each time you snicker you need to press a hot iron to your stomach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
