"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

11,000 years old? Isn't that just about, let's see, 5,000 years older than is Biblically possible? You'd think the scientists faking this would have the decency paint it in an older art style. But they don't. They are so arrogant as to say, "It looks like a modernist painting. Some of those who saw it have likened it to work by (Paul) Klee."
They may as well say, "Suck it, God!"

This is a marvelous find. As to it's purpose, why could it not be simple decoration. These people were, after all, essentially us and we all like pretty.

In this context, I think that's a pretty funny typo.
My apologies to Halfmooner for horrible image work. |

Hehehe! More, John! My own stuff rarely amuses me, because I usually know what I'm going to do. Usually.

It's not a typo:Adobe... 2. A structure built with this type of brick. Well, the best references I can find put the earliest use of adobe at about 9,000 years ago, so the article's 11,000-year figure is strange. But it clearly says,Rectangles dominate the ancient painting, which formed part of an adobe circular wall of a large house with a wooden roof. So either they've dated it wrong, or there's a different typo (which might not be surprising, since the photo caption implies that 11,000 years would be in the 11th century, BC). |
