World’s oldest artwork found in Indonesian cave
Scientists have discovered what they believed to be the world’s oldest artwork that depicts three people gathering around a big red pig in a cave on the Indonesian island of South Sulawesi.
Research published on Nature magazine on July 3 indicates the painting was created some 51,200 years ago.
Found inside the Leang Karampuang cave in the Maros-Pangkep region of South Sulawesi, the painting is in poor condition.
