oft-reprised sidebar:
In her Plato Prehistorian: 10,000 to 5000 B.C. Myth, Religion, Archaeology, Mary Settegast reproduces a table which shows four runic character sets; a is Upper Paleolithic (found among the cave paintings), b is Indus Valley script, c is Greek (western branch), and d is the Scandinavian runic alphabet.

One really must hand it to them for knowing where to place their mark.

It’s great that someone has finally fingered out how they did it.

I think you “nailed” it. You seem to have your finger on the pulse of prehistoric times.

Are the handprints a starmap of Orion?

Only 37,000 years ago. I saw that Werner Herzog movie "cave of forgotten dreams" about 5 years ago and in 3D, it was a very limited release and it's about the caves in southern France with the same thing, hand prints and drawings on the walls from that same time frame, 30k years ago, it was mind blowing. What I found fascinating was not only how well they drew the physical characteristics of the animals, but how they drew them so that they appeared to be in motion. I mean think about it, I couldn't draw a horse or lion from memory like that.

Maybe, the Irish did come from Iberia...

Amazing. They had spray cans of paint 37K years ago. There really ISN’T anything new under the sun.

Clearly they had a light source for use back in the caverns.
It’s astounding that they survived, also, there’s the possibility that more remain to be discovered — Chauvet was only found in the mid-1990s.

We must “palm” it off on someone. We must “hand” it to you for placing your “mark” on this topic.
To: AEMILIUS PAULUS
Woops! I repeated myself. I need to be “slapped” around.
To: SunkenCiv
Upper Paleolithic alphabet? Dang, didn’t know they had writing that far back. Guess, it should not be a surprise though, we have lost so much knowledge.

Looks like we forgot realism and proportion for 30k years until the Greeks rediscovered it.

On 1000 A.D. "Cotton map", Ireland(?) is labeled "Hiberia".

They didn’t have cans but they were air-brushing. They would hold the paint in their mouths and blow it out a straw.
