I didn't see any pictures at the link. I remember years ago I found my family named on a list of names that originated on the Orkney Island. I have been to Scotland but we didn't make it to the Orkneys.

Ya, Stonehenge was probably painted.
The designs of the Maya and Aztecs were painted.
People are people pretty much everywhere, and when.
From the caves of Altamira to the Gugg in NYC.

Archaeologists revealed today that they have discovered the first evidence in the UK of stonework painted with a pattern, suggesting Neolithic people enjoyed decorating each other`s stone houses with insulting graffiti.

The classical civs painted their statues as well, to try to make them lifelike, kinda like we have those lawn dwarfs today.

We are who we were. I know it is a strange concept to the ruling class and those that pursue grants.
