  Interesting. But what about the 'Medicines'? Didn't find any about that.

  Since people tend to live near the coastal regions, so many artifacts must have been lost all over the world when the sea levels rose. I do wonder if there might be other caves that still have pockets above the water level.

  Is it common for there to be no canines? I thought humans were in with dogs by this period, perhaps the lack of human pictures and dog pictures is correlated.

  Is there a link to a complete list of images of the paintings? This site only has a few dozen.

  It's interesting to see how Joseph Bradshaw's name and his exposure of the Gwion Gwion rock paintings to Europeans has now morphed into a global foundation funded by Oklahoma oil and gas money.

  RIP David M.

  Climate change did this.

  Hasn't the planet suffered enough?
