Stenciled outlines of human hands, Cave of the Hands (Cuevas de las Manos), Río Pinturas, Argentina, between 13,000 and 9,500 years old, natural mineral pigments. This is a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site. #art #arthistory #prehistoric #caves

From UNESCO: “The Cueva de las Manos, Río Pinturas, contains an exceptional assemblage of cave art, with many painted rock shelters, including a cave, with magnificent pictographies surrounded by an outstanding landscape, with the river running through a deep canyon, which were executed between 9,300 and 1,300 years ago.

It takes its name (Cave of the Hands) from the stencilled outlines of human hands in the cave, but there are also many depictions of animals, such as guanacos (Lama guanicoe ), still commonly found in the region, as well as hunting scenes that depict animals and human figures interacting in a dynamic and naturalistic manner. The entrance to the Cueva is screened by a rock wall covered by many hand stencils. Within the rock shelter itself there are five concentrations of rock art, later figures and motifs often superimposed upon those from earlier periods. The paintings were executed with natural mineral pigments - iron oxides (red and purple), kaolin (white), and natrojarosite (yellow), manganese oxide (black) - ground and mixed with some form of binder.”

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🏛️🗿 #CurtinUniversity researchers used mineral dating and ice-sheet models to show that no #glacier could have delivered #Stonehenge’s six-ton Altar Stone from #Scotland to southern #England.

The 700-km journey required deliberate human transport combining overland hauling and #river #travel. The effort shows a sophisticated level of planning and coordination among #Neolithic communities.

Fossil discovery shows the interaction between giant marine reptiles

Approximately 160 million years ago, during the Age of Dinosaurs, giant marine reptiles ruled the seas. One such creature, an ichthyosaur, swam in a sea near present-day Peterborough, England. This huge animal, shaped like a dolphin, was a quick swimmer that chased prey such as ammonites and squid for sustenance.
