And if we believe in evolution, and of course we all do, the conclusion to draw is that the paintings were started by naked apes and completed by a man in a Georgio Armani suit.

Makes more sense that something is incorrect in the dating process.
But...
I'm still waiting for the discovery of a cave where fishermen immortalized 20,000 years of "It was T - H - I - S big!!!" stories... '-)
Heh.
No doubt they are in here somewhere.

IIRC, there are a fair number of paintings throughout the cave network.
But don’t quote me on that.
“...the paintings were started by naked apes and completed by a man in a Georgio Armani suit.”
Something like this, perhaps?

Phtttt! I can decipher the paintings:
“Save money on your bison insurance by switching to Geico. It’s so easy, a cave man can do it.”
Now that was funny!
And calcium carbonate deposition rate is known for the past 20,000 years?
When I lecture on archaeology and demonstrate flintknapping to school classes, I usually wear a necklace that includes some red "beads". After I let the kids handle the necklace, I like to explain that those red "beads" are actually indigestible "Mountain Coral" beans, and that they came from an Indian rockshelter in a side canyon off the Pecos River in West Texas. Then I tell them that the beans were there because the only visitors to that shelter between the Indians and my archaeological survey crew were goats -- and that the beans had passed through the goats' intestinal tracts. LOL!!! I usually get some funny reactions!!
We actually made it into several shelters that even the goats had not reached. To know that we were the first to see those beautiful pictographs since the indians who made them (and who left their straw sandals and mats behind) was quite a stirring experience...
That’s almost as long as the Boston “Big Dig!”
I really dont know if I believe that.
I hope they got paid by the hour....
Thanks for the link! After seeing those galleries, I know I’d far rather spend a week or two at Davidson’s camp than anywhere in Europe!
How can they use uranium to determine 20,000 years?
Just a bunch of graffitti by prehistoric taggers......
Think of the overtime pay!
“those beautiful pictographs”
Are there reproductions on line?
