Wow....
Please explain to me what method you used to date the cave art?
Also how do you know that it’s just not cave art and has nothing to do with the stars?

#2. Can’t raise the article but cave art might be “aged” by an electronic probe of the paints’ constituent ingredients, esp. if they were organic.

Archaeologists would also carbon-date materials found on the caves’ floor, going down in depth until they hit barren layers with no manmade items (pottery, bones from meals, carbonized wood for cooking/heating, etc).

That would give us a “range” of possible cave art periods or times, depending on the quality of the carbon-dating materials and methods used.

[Plus, there might be a date provided by the artist, on the cave walls, such as “Grog, 35,000 BC]. /Sarc

An old archaeologist’s joke.

I ‘understand’ that the North star was NOT the ‘north’ star 40,000 ago.

I would image they would carbon date the pigments used in the art.
