Cool.
Title might be a bit clickbait though.
It’s oldest known representational art. Not oldest known art.
For example the carvings in the Blomos cave in South Africa are atleast 75’000 years old.
Edit: Thank you for editing the title! That’s pretty weird mistake by Nature I thought they had high standards. Well they have peer reviewed and approved some dodgy research in my field recently so maybe I should be more skeptical.
I love hearing stuff like this. 51, 000 years old is already insane. 75,000 years old is 24,000 years older than that. I can't even imagine 24,000 years older than today.
Why can't we get movies about this shit instead of another Marvel sequel? I want some scientifically accurate adventure about life in 73,000 BC.
Well the problem is we know very little. So a movie like that would be complete guesswork.
You might enjoy the youtube channel “Stephan Milo” though. His videos are well sourced and have a lot of expert interviews. And he focuses on this kind of stuff.
