The oldest pig cave paintingA painting discovered on the wall of an Indonesian cave has been found to be 44,000 years old. The 136cm x 54cm picture of a pig painted in the Liang Tedonge Cave creates an epic scene by facing two unfinished pigs. The 187 cm x 110 cm pig painting from the Liang Balangagia 1 cave is overlaid with four hand stencils (hand-shaped hands created by applying pigment and spraying paint). There are also several pictures of animals that are not well preserved.
https://creation.kr/Human/?idx=1757437&bmode=view Oldest Animal Cave Painting Baffles Evolutionary Anthropologists by David F. Coppedge How can animal murals appear on opposite sides of the world at the same time? The oldest cave paintings depicting animals have been dated by evolutionary anthropologists to be 40,000 years old. Disturbingly, paintings similar to European cave paintings were discovered on the Indonesian island of Borneo from around the same time, about 37,000 years ago. In a paper titled “Paleolithic cave art in Borneo” published in Nature (November 7, 2018), Aubert et al. said: It is now clear that rock art appeared on the Indonesian island of Borneo at about the same time as the arrival of modern man in Europe (45,000-43,000 years ago), as the first form of artistic expression. Therefore, similar cave paintings appear almost contemporaneously in the extreme western and eastern regions of the Eurasian continent. It is not yet known whether this was a coincidence, the result of cultural fusion of widely separated regions, a large-scale population movement from Eurasia, or some other cause.
