Hobo markings?

Yes. Clearly homeless people lived in these caves.

Do national borders stop at a certain depth?

I wanted you to picture something more like flying spudmen.

You know. Levitaters.

Two mythical 4 legged chickens on the left, in the Yorkshire Post video?

I think the “paintings” represent important events in the life of the tribe or one of the members, much like the American Indians painted their tribe or personal history on animal skins or later, ledger books.

It's fun to have fun, but I think your theory is more on the mark as to why these drawings were made so long ago.
Think of the extremely limited technology of the time for securing food and the time and effort expended.
Then the logistics and skills necessary in making a suitable fire for cooking and another for the cave artists.
It seems more likely that the artists of those times and their works were valued by the people of their time, and ours.

They’re more mobile than the legless four-winged chickens.

Levitaters... they wear blue jeans, even though they have no legs, it’s weird...
