Imagine if, 73,000 years from now, archaeologists come across this "modern" crap? They'd think we'd regressed since the 'caveman days'!

The earliest known drawing made by a human has been found in a South African cave and it looks very similar to a hashtag, the grouping and search feature made popular by the Jack Dorsey-led Twitter.
The drawing is basically six red lines crossed by three other slightly curved lines. It appears on a tiny flake of mineral crust measuring only about 1.5 inches long and about half an inch tall. It's evidently part of a larger drawing because lines reaching the edge are cut off abruptly there, researchers said.
"Before this discovery, Palaeolithic archaeologists have for a long time been convinced that unambiguous symbols first appeared when Homo sapiens entered Europe, about 40,000 years ago, and later replaced local Neanderthals," said University of Bergen professor Christopher Henshilwood in a statement. ..."
The 73,000 year-old drawing was found in the Blombos Cave, approximately 190 miles east of Cape Town, researchers said. It is roughly 30,000 years older than any other drawing presently known to humanity, the researchers said. ..."
While it is not the earliest deliberate design (some abstract engravings are significantly older), it does highlight that early humans were able to produce designs on various surfaces with different techniques. It was created with a sharpened flake of ochre, a pigment widely used in the ancient world, Henshilwood told the Associated Press.

Search jackson pollock paintings.......................
“Probably found right below the African proof of Riemann Hypothesis.”
OUCH !!! and OUCH on you ..../sarc
Good one ...LOL...
Pollock is far more complex than that simplistic childish garbage I just posted, most if not all of which actually hang in ‘art’ museums, and are ridiculously valued.
They look like a drop cloth from an auto body paint booth...............

"She tell truth".
Modern Art... A Communist conspiracy to dumb down real art and beauty and debase the culture.
Just noticed, my post 47 was meant for another thread I posted on this day. One on dinosaur DNA.
