Rock Art
A hand stencil dating back nearly 68,000 years, discovered in a cave on Sulawesi, Indonesia, may be the world's oldest rock art. The artwork, found at Liang Metanduno on Muna Island, shows signs of deliberate modification to resemble claws. This predates previously known examples from Neanderthals in Spain by over 1,000 years.

Archaeologists have discovered over 170 monumental rock engravings in northern Saudi Arabia, dating back 12,800 to 11,400 years. These life-sized animal depictions, created after a period of extreme aridity, highlight early human adaptation in the desert. The findings reveal connections to distant Neolithic communities and underscore a lost cultural identity.
