In November 2018, scientists reported the discovery of the then-oldest known figurative art painting, over 40,000 (perhaps as old as 52,000) years old, of an unknown animal, in the cave of Lubang Jeriji Saleh on the Indonesian island of Borneo. Represented by three red non-figurative symbols found in the caves of Maltravieso, Ardales and La Pasiega, Spain, these predate the appearance of modern humans in Europe by at least 20,000 years and thus must have been made by Neanderthals rather than modern humans. However, more recently, in 2021, cave art of a pig found in an Indonesian island, and dated to over 45,500 years, has been reported.Ī 2018 study claimed an age of 64,000 years for the oldest examples of non-figurative cave art in the Iberian Peninsula. The oldest are often constructed from hand stencils and simple geometric shapes. The term usually implies prehistoric origin, and the oldest known are more than 100,000 years old (art of the Upper Paleolithic), found in both the Haryana region Manghar bani north western India, and in the caves in the district of Maros (Sulawesi, Indonesia). Other objects resembling unidentified aerial phenomena are also see alongside or above them.Ĭave paintings are a type of parietal art (which category also includes petroglyphs, or engravings), found on the wall or ceilings of caves. They often depict 'ancient aliens' usually as stick figures wearing some sort of helmet or other attire and standing next to smaller figures (humans).

Figurines such as the above examples are typical.
