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."

Cuz they were trippin' on shroomz ;p
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
