This is relatively young rock art compared to that found in Chauvet Cave which is about 30,000 years old-astounding.

If you haven’t already seen it, watch “Cave of Forgotten Dreams”.

Those are tightly packed engravings. It must have been painstaking work to do. Only religion can make a person invest that much effort.
Still though, they are very interesting in style and form.

Remember, you’ve got to read it from right to left. The triangle is their depiction of the decline of the Obama economy.

Looks like they lived in apartment buildings and partied in the lobby.

Remember this is ROCK art. I believe that is a picture of Ozzy Osborne just before he bites the head off of the snake on the triangular stage.
Metal Rules!

Long live rock art. And art rock, for that matter.
