Experts probing the discovery of 13 hand prints in the eerie Egyptian Cave of Beasts say the 8000-year-old stencils did not belong to humans
Anthropologists probing the discovery of tiny 8000-year-old hand prints in an Egyptian cave say they were not made by human hands.
Explorers stumbled across the tiny hand imprints in a Saharan cave after unearthing more than 5000 images carved into the stone in Egypt's southwest border with Libya 14 years ago.
But a study of the 13 tiny hand prints show that not only are they not human - but that they are believed to belong to tiny lizards.
The cave, which is also known as Wadi Sura II, has been the focus of study for Emmanuelle Honoré of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research for years.
She said she was stunned when she saw the shape of the small prints.
"They were much smaller than human baby hands, and the fingers were too long," she told National Geographic.
The scientists took measurements of the stencils and compared them to those of newborn human infants under a year, including newborn premature babies that were 26 to 36 weeks old.
But came to the startling conclusion that the prints were not human and instead were created by lizards.
But while Honoré is sure the prints were made by tiny crocodiles or lizards - she is unsure of the reason why they are there.
Or why any civilisation would want to draw or use the legs of animals on their cave walls.
She added: "It's very challenging for us as researchers to interpret these paintings since we have a culture that's totally different."

“Let’s go to the cave and make hand prints.”
“I’m in. Let me grab my lizard.”
Quick....call Rubio.......small hands!!! We all know what that means....Trump was there!
Tiny hand prints? Could be Trump.
Or how about a son or daughter with “rascal the pet lizard” while dad was painting the cave wall.
