Rats! No photos in the original article, either.
GGG Ping!
When you go outside and everything is ice, you don't have much to do except put grafitti on the wall of your local cave.
I would like to see photos as well.
Waiting for the photos as well.
And is anyone else have the term "Piltdown Man" running through their heads?
We have lost the code."
.
I didn't realize the Los Alamos lab had been in operation that long.
Of course they had a code. It was the Ice Age.
(brrrmpum)
Maybe there was no code. Maybe they drew for....artistic pleasure.
DO NOT POST STORIES THAT DESCRIBE ELABORATE SCENES WITHOUT PHOTOS .... IT PISSES ME OFF.

How tall is the cave ceiling? Were these giants carving on the roof, or were the carvings on the wall? Did they use scaffolding?
"We thought that last year we had a big discovery with 12 figures," Sergio Ripoll, a Spanish expert on cave art. "Now we have found 96 figures - it is a very, very great discovery.
"We think this is the most elaborately carved cave ceiling in the world. This is one of the biggest discoveries I have ever made and I think we will have many more surprises in the next months," Dr Ripoll said. "
PING
This is a "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" -- Archeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc. PING list.
Please FREEPMAIL me, if you want on or off this list.
I just got the list from farmfriend, so those of you who haven’t been pinged lately, please check the link above, where you can find the links to the more recent articles.
LOOKING FOR volunteer to take the ping list and the ping task over. I took it temporarily, to continue it, but I am becoming very busy and there may be days when I am not available. Please FReepmail me, if you would be interested. On the average it’s only a ping a day or so. (Some days more, then for a few days there may be nothing). In the meantime I’ll do it, but you may get some pings a little late.
WOW!
"Piltdown Man"? Not exactly. I am reading "Color, a Natural History of the Palette," by Victoria Stanley. It's a history of artists pigments, and so far I've read about pigments used in cave paintings and rock paintings in Australia, India, Lebanon, China, Mongolia, Germany, France, Greece, Mexico. Why not Great Britain?
England, Scotland and Wales were connected to the mainland of Europe by a land bridge at the time, so why shouldn't the cultures be similar?

"The experts have their disagreements: Dr Pettitt believes the total number of images is less than the number suggested by Dr Ripoll and others and that some 'are in the eye of the beholder'. He is also positive that one image described as bird shows instead the buttocks and legs of a fat woman. "
