Thanks, Dennis...hadn't had the time to grace the neurons with caffeine at time of posting!

Sorry, John...I don't have the skill set to post pictures from the BBC website, but hope you can follow the link and see a few of them.

Happy Friday,

Those are the 3 pics that are in the article. They sure are different from the cave paintings I have seen around Baja.

Thank you BajaBlanca

Very interesting differences. Similar media and materials, but distinct graphic style. I am going to look for a link that shows more of the findings.

The number, nearly 5,000 is stunning but I think I like the Baja paintings better so far. Still a great find and worth looking into.

They'd arrest a person for doing that today. :light:
