Nope, didn't post any rock-paintings pictures. From the indus valley you get: 1. planned cities, 2. advanced sculptures and iron works (the famed Harappan Dancing girl for one), 3. writing
From the northern part of the punjab you have the settings for the writing of the Vedas.
These, while very nice, are rock paintings, from an earlier era and dating to Cro-magnon man. You have the same rock sculptures in Spain, in France, in North Africa, in the Middle East and in Deccan India (Bhimbisara caves) dating to even earlier times.
they also date from 3000 BC which seems a bit off as the first structure at Stonehenge was being built at that time, these must be earlier

BTW, you and I are "Cro-magnon Man" for the most part. They are the first known Eur-Asian modern humans. Jet planes and atom bombs also date from Cro-magnon Man as it turns out.
Note, those are not ROCK PAINTINGS, the material is CARVED into the rock, just like the same symbols are carved into the rock on some of the background stuff in things you've posted. This stuff is several thousand years older.
I think you may not realize how widely traveled ancient people could be when they didn't have massive ice fields in their way.
Did you notice the "crop circle" formations for some of 'em?
