ow that's awesome I didn't know that. Sorry but my perspective of them are from movies and cartoons and they always make they look very dumb

I wont blame you, but if you are interested, then have a look at recent documentaries about the topic. The German/French TV station "Arte" sometimes has the content in english too and other European languages.... They cover neolithic and bronze age quiet regular because we have many of these and other sites...

  • I found this gem on Arte a while back: https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/118245-000-A/sulawesi-am-anfan...

    Translated from German:

    > For a long time, scientists assumed that the first artworks in human history originated in Europe around 40,000 years ago. Recently, however, cave paintings discovered on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi have challenged this assumption. Thanks to a new dating method, it has been revealed: one of the rock paintings is at least 67,800 years old.

    The documentary is available in German and French only. Subtitles are available only in the aforementioned languages too. I used AI to make high-quality English subtitles from the official ones.
