This handout photography released by Griffith University on December 11, 2019, shows cave art inside Bulu Sipong 4, Sulawesi, Indonesia. – A hunting scene painted 44,000 years ago, the oldest known to date, whose half-human, half-animal representations suggest a successful artistic culture, or even the beginnings of a religion, was discovered in a prehistoric cave in Indonesia, has been revealed in a study on December 11.
Using dating technology, the team at Australia’s Griffith University said it had confirmed that the limestone cave painting dated back at least 43,900 years during the Upper Palaeolithic period. “I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Griffith University archaeologist Adam Brumm told Nature. In the latest dated scene, the animals appear to be wild pigs and small buffalo, while the hunters are depicted in reddish-brown colours with human bodies and the heads of animals including birds and reptiles.
A half-lion, half-human ivory figure found in Germany that was estimated to be some 40,000 years old was thought to be the oldest example of therianthropy, the article said.The Sulawesi painting, which is in poor condition, suggests that a highly advanced artistic culture existed some 44,000 years ago, punctuated by folklore, religious myths and spiritual belief, the team said.
