The oldest animal painting in the world was found in east Borneo

News24xx.com - A painting showing an animal that looks like a cow was found in East Borneo. According to a research published in the journal “Nature” on November 7th 2018, the painting is 40 thousand years old and is the oldest animal painting made by human that has ever been found.
 

According to researchers, this finding indicates that cave figurative art did not start in Europe, but Southeast Asia, around the last ice age. The picture was painted on limestone.
 

As cited from Live Science, researchers had found this painting since 1994. However, the real age of the painting has only been discovered recently.
 

The research team consisted of the people from Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), National Archeology Research Center (Puslit Arkenas) and Griffith University.
