Well, weren't the people in Britain 13K years ago celto-iberians?

And the essential preoccupations of this single market in ice-age art, it seems, were hunting and naked dancing girls.

Ug!

They may have painted naked dancing girls, but they were really only looked at it for the heiroglyphics.

Interesting.

Shows that during the Ice Age Southern Britain was attached to Europe by a land bridge (due to lower sea levels).

Northern England was attached to Ireland in the same manner but this was further North and above the glacial extents. This could explain why the flora and fauna of Ireland is different than Britain (things like snakes are missing in Ireland).

Other shapes found at Creswell were initially thought to be long-necked birds. "Looked at another way," said Mr Pettitt, "You see a naked women in profile, with jutting out buttocks and raised arms. It appears to be a picture of women doing a dance in which they thrust out their derrières.

Talk about building an edifice on shaky foundations. It is not even clear what the drawings depict, and this yahoo builds a continent wide culture on this reference.

The Continent wide culture claim was based on the drawing of an Ibex which has been native to Britain. The Ibex drawing was quite depictive.

For some reason, "...you might be a redneck." comes to mind.
