Couldn’t find a image, but I was reminded of “The First Art Critic” in Mel Brook’s “History of the World”.

I am told by some authorities that the age of the Earth is only 6,000 years ... this new science is such a lie! Another authoritative source tells me that all the ice every where on this planet is melting! I saw it on TV last weekend and by gore an image just appeared out of the ethos and said the same thing ... what to do!!! /s

Etchings at Qurta, located about 400 miles (640 kilometers) south of Cairo, Egypt, depict a now extinct species of wild cow. The rediscovered artwork -- similar in look and age to iconic paintings in Spain and France -- pushes "Egyptian art, religion, and culture back to a much earlier time," archaeologists say.

She can leave very attractive photos, here's an example, just don't go searching the web for more, because they get less.
