The world's oldest art has an unintentional story to tell about human exploration.

    Whats crazy is this was uncovered under other old art. People were tagging on top of other people’s art this far back. How rude.

    I really like to think that it was a couple of young vandals who did it to upset the tribal elders.

    “The gods made the cave that way, and now you’ve profaned it!”
