This is so amazing! Looks like we might push the history of writing back ten thousand years?? #Lascaux #CavePaintings #PaleolithicArchaeology

@adigoesswimming It will be interesting to see how this plays out. When I was studying the cave paintings in school, I don’t think anyone even considered it being much more than cave man graffiti. Which is weird, in hindsight.
@renataf I wish I'd studied them in school! I only know what I've read online but they've always stuck with me as incredible works of art. The horses, especially, because I've spent my entire life doodling horses, and to condense the beauty of a horse to so few lines and shapes is just breathtaking. Tremendous work by practiced artists, for sure, and absolutely not just scribbles.
