Tens of thousands of ice age paintings across a cliff face shed light on people and animals from 12,500 years ago
One of the world’s largest collections of prehistoric rock art has been discovered in the Amazonian rainforest.
Hailed as “the Sistine Chapel of the ancients”, archaeologists have found tens of thousands of paintings of animals and humans created up to 12,500 years ago across cliff faces that stretch across nearly eight miles in Colombia.
This came up on my news feed today, and I was really impressed by it. Then I realized it can’t be radiocarbon dated…and it makes some things a little interesting for current models…
Someone can correct me, if I’m wrong in this: I did some checking - current models have homo sapiens arriving to this area near in date to when the animals depicted went extinct. (Well, “near” in evolutionary terms - give or take 500 years)
And hunter gathers somehow bungee jump… 
It will be interesting to see if more of these are discovered.
More photos if anyone is interested. More Photos Have Emerged from the Massive Rock Art Discovery in the Amazon, and They're Amazing—See Them Here
