Thanks for posting it; and for the ping. It was difficult, but managed to look at many of the paintings full screen and manually advancing the frames. They are incredible.

I’d settle for a 2-D version, as I have an uncorrectable vision problem that makes a 3-D movie somewhat moot for me.

Also, the nearest 3-D screens are 65 miles each way.

I recently visited the big new exhibit at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. on the development of man. There was one wall with several dozen skulls dating from about 5 million years ogo to modern homo sapiens. A great exhibit, see it if you have any interest in this topic.

The last skull in the bottom right corner said “homo Sapien”. I said, “wait a minute, this does not look like a modern human even if they did age it as 10,000 years old. I looked at a bunch of other skulls including, homo erectus, homo heidelbergensis, and homo neanderthalis, and concluded it looks most like heidelberg man which lived from 700,000 to 300,000 years ago in Europe. Then I checked out Google for “Kow Swamp, Australia archaeology controversy”;

I read several articles about the argument over whether these skulls were homo erectus or homo sapiens. I think both views are wrong. Go see them yourself and tell me what you think.
