What do you see in this picture?

#CaveArt

The cave the #art was found in is well known, containing many depictions. It is on the island of #Sulawesi in #Indonesia

No one paid much attention to these faint hand stencils on a ceiling, there were much more fanciful drawings about. But recently chemical analysis showed these stencils are about 67,800 years old: 15,000 years older than any previously known ancient cave art

😲

This handprint is the oldest known cave art

Beating the previous record for the oldest known cave artwork by at least 15,000 years, a hand stencil in an Indonesian cave might shed light on when early humans migrated to Australia

This trip, got to try #Manado food a few times and, it's officially up there with #Sunda & #Padang as my favorite regional #Indonesia cuisines.

Need to go visit and try it in North #Sulawesi and see if its as #spicy as claimed.
