Oldest drawing found on 73,000-year-old rock in South Africa
Scientists have claimed to identify the oldest known drawing in human history at Blombos Cave in South Africa. After seven years of research, archaeologists concluded that a human made the cross-hatched design with an ochre crayon 73,000 years ago. Believed to be part of a larger design, the pattern also features at nearby sites being engraved on ostrich eggshells.
