This is over 40,000-year-old Rock art of strange humanoid creatures in Australia.+
The oldest rock paintings on Earth are in Cape York, in northern Queensland, Australia. They were created by the Ang-Gnarra Aborigines around 35,000 years ago and remained mostly unknown until the 1950s. These paintings are now part of the Jowalbinna Bush Camp.
According to Robert Scheer, the pictures were mostly painted in blood-red color using powdered iron ore (hematite). The pigment bonded permanently to the sandstone, making the images last for thousands of years.
Experts used to believe Aboriginals arrived in Australia 5,000 to 10,000 years ago. Later, they updated this estimate to 50,000 to 80,000 years, and it is estimated that it’s been 250,000 to 500,000 years.
An archaeologist from the University of New England studied a site near Jowalbinna and found it was used for religious ceremonies 40,000 to 60,000 years ago. However, a severe drought caused it to be abandoned 32,000 years ago, and it wasn’t used again until about 12,500 years ago.
