This wall painting was discovered by a team of French archaeologists working at Djade al-Mughara, a Neolithic site in Northern Syria.

The red, black and white painting measures 2 square meters, and has been dated to around 9,000 BC (making it the oldest known wall painting). Team leader Eric Coqueugniot says, “It looks like a modernist painting. Some of those who saw it have likened it to work by (Paul) Klee.”

    Is it art, or an alphabet, or a sign advertising Regular Unleaded at $.09, with a free car-wash with fillup?

    Intersting as hell regardless…

    There is another painting next to it that will be excavated at a later date. This will be interesting.

    Interesting. Use of geometry and different colors pigments. Design of an exterior of a house(?). Guess, great way to diversify each other
