It reads, “On the first day in the place I met some girls in the woods. They seemed friendly. Maybe this is not going to be a bad posting...”
Thank you for that education on ochre...and the website. I have a new place to visit!
That looks a lot more like a message than the random stuff I’ve seen in the Southwest.
It looks more like hieroglyphics. I am sure there are cryto folks looking at it and “seeing” things.
Our alphabet looks like squiggles to those who are not aware of what is is.
Oh, is the circus in town? LOL!
bkmk
Shouldn’t it all be under water by now?
Call me skeptical... How did these drawings not get discovered before? It seems from the phots that there is a lot of sun, and therefore a lot of rain, and yet these drawings lasted for over 20000 years? Car paint with clear coat doesn’t last anywhere near that...
They keep finding “undiscovered” Aztec stuff all the time.
“interacting” (laugh), I’ll bet!
Shades of Eric Von Daniken.
I was thinking the same thing. Early stop signs were yellow. They wanted them to be red but red paint faded too quickly in the sun. I think they figured out how to make special red paint in the late 1940’s or so. But the savages figured it out 12,000 years ago?
Well, really probably 4,000 because the earth is really only about 6000 years old.
More from the Red Paint People - hope the sunlight doesn’t fade the images.
The climate was changed by the 100 year long comet strikes in North America, killing all the large mega-fauna
Red was the color of life - the Red Paint People used ocher to color their skins as well.
do they ever find art that is more representative of things. Like an artist drawing a real face instead of a blob

Yes, European caves are filled with realistic animal even to including a form of perspective and 3-D relief. These people were just as smart as we are, ie they were not stupid - they represented animals and so on as they did usually for “religious” reasons. There was a purpose.
“Roughly at that time there was very thick sheet of ice
on top of New York City. Southern US had roughly the
climate of Canada. The current tropics were temperate.”

What about London/UK?
Was it also covered in ice?
Could people live in the UK area or not?

The above article says
Ochre is often associated with human burials: for example, the Upper Paleolithic cave site of Arene Candide has an early use of ochre at a burial of a young man 23,500 years ago. The site of Paviland Cave in the UK, dated to about the same time, had a burial so soaked in red ochre he was (somewhat mistakenly) called the “Red Lady”.

This is what confuses me.
Is it just different scientist
guessing differently?
I really am curious.
