TEXT 2: A painting discovered on the wall of an Indonesian cave has been found to be
44,000 years old.
“The art appears to show a buffalo being hunted by part-human, part-animal creatures
holding spears and possibly ropes. Some researchers think the scene could be the world's oldest-recorded story.
Adam Brumm - an archaeologist at Griffith - first saw the pictures two years ago, after a
colleague in Indonesia shimmied up a fig tree to reach the cave passage.
The Indonesian drawing is not the oldest in the world. Last year, scientists said they
found "humanity's oldest drawing" on a fragment of rock in South Africa, dated at 73,000 years
old.”
