So you can't carbon date that.
Yeah.
But what they do, what they figured out is because there are striations and growth on top of it, mineral deposits that happen on top of these drawings, they can take the stuff on top of it, you age that.
And because it's on top of the ink or the whatever they used it.
draw, it's going to be older than what's on top of it.
So the stuff on top of it they see is about 66,700 years old.
It's got to at least be that old, if not even older.
So it's just so cool that we have this modern bias of cavemen were cavemen.
And here they are with art and other stuff.
These results suggest that the tradition of making hand stencils in Europe began long before they appeared in
in any other part of the world.
The oldest known hand stencil art previous to this was in the Leang Tempusang Cave on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.
That was about 40,000.
Now this one in Spain is 66,000.
Isn't that amazing?
It's amazing.
It's just so cool and I love that process of like how can we date this stuff.
Oh, yeah.
We'll get the stuff that's on top of it.
And what's nice is when they scrape the stuff on top of the art, they don't have to ruin the art at all.
