Oldest picture found in Africa

Drawing is a popular hobby. There are large among of drawing classes in cities. You can make a picture with a pen, painting, or several other ways.


Recently, one of the oldest evidence of ancient human beings made drawing on the rock was found in Africa.

The Guardian: Earliest known drawing found on rock in South African cave

The identified rock is estimated as 73,000 y.o. It is said that the first humankind was born in Africa. The rock suggests concurrent people tried to report something meaningful with a picture.

On the other hand, humans have up to seven million years of history. I guess the history of drawing is almost as long as human's culture itself. Thus, people born millions of years ago might also enjoy drawing. Although it is difficult to find the evidence, I want to see the ancient picture made by our ancestors.
