An 8-mile-long "canvas" filled with ice age drawings of mastodons, giant sloths and other extinct beasts has been discovered in the Amazon rainforest.
The gorgeous art, drawn with ochre — a red pigment frequently used as paint in the ancient world — spans nearly 8 miles (13 kilometers) of rock on the hills above three rock shelters in the Colombian Amazon, a new study finds.
"These really are incredible images, produced by the earliest people to live in western Amazonia," study co-researcher Mark Robinson, an archaeologist at the University of Exeter, who analyzed the rock art alongside Colombian scientists, said in a statement.

Eight miles? That’s some kind of graffiti, there. Makes today’s taggers look pathetic.
To: Red Badger
Very cool. Plenty of abstracts as well (early attempt at glyphs?)

I thought it was so freaking hard to live back then and Every Second was accounted for..what with hunting for food etc.
What a scam.
They had Bureaucrats even then.

Always like to see the outline of hands in the cave paintings. It is like a message reaching out across the eons saying “I was here. I survived. I achieved”.

“incredible images”
Not that anyone cares, but my personal assessment differs slightly.

Could some of that be a primitive attempt at writing - symbols they could “read” and not just drawings?

It's not like they had a lot to do. No TV. Just Hunting and fishing with the good ole boys.
Oh....that's what my dad did.
To: Red Badger
Is this right? 12,000 years in the rain forest and it still looks that good? We can’t even make house paint that lasts for more than 10 years.

Hey look! FUJoe and his dog!
