- defrost 4y agoIt'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.

- TEP_Kim_Il_Sung 4y agoClimate change did this. https://metrocosm.com/timelapse-evolution-of-earths-surface/ https://metrocosm.com/timelapse-evolution-of-earths-surface/ Hasn't the planet suffered enough?
- marmetio 4y ago> flooding that occurred when the seas rose after the end of the last glaciation The planet did this one to itself.
- senectus1 4y ago>The Cosquer Cave is located in the Calanque de Morgiou in Marseille, France, near Cap Morgiou. The entrance to the cave is located 37 m (121 ft) underwater, due to the Holocene sea level rise. Yup... we cant blame big coal/oil on this one.
- senectus1 4y agohilarious that I'm being downvoted here... you realize the Holocene was 12 THOUSAND years ago right?
- TEP_Kim_Il_Sung 4y agoThey hate anything that might contradict the narrative. ChatGPT does too; Try asking it facts you know in relation to the narrative. It will spout biased garbage.
- marmetio 4y agoMy comment has the exact same information but with different wording and it has a score of +5. The different reception can't be due to the information content, can it?
- TEP_Kim_Il_Sung 4y agoProbably was just not blaming corporations and capitalism for the end of the ice age.
- marmetio 4y agoBoth comments said it was natural. Only your original comment sort of insinuated that it wasn't.
- TEP_Kim_Il_Sung 4y agoClimate change is natural. What were we arguing about?
- TEP_Kim_Il_Sung 4y agoThrough climate change!

- LargoLasskhyfv 4y agoInteresting. But what about the 'Medicines'? Didn't find any about that.
- DoreenMichele 4y agoI don't know. I read it for that reason and was also disappointed, but perhaps they mean this passage: Now, we know that the phenomenon was far more widely represented than had been thought. The now established fact that roughly at the same time such hand stencils were being made in sites hundreds of miles apart should deal a death blow to the theory of pathologic mutilations: how likely would it be that human groups living at such distances from one another should independently develop the same crippling diseases and should react in the same way by immortalizing them on the walls of the caves by means of the same techniques? Though I don't necessarily agree with their conclusion. I have heard that most frogs and such missing a limb in areas where scientists track such because they are concerned about mutations in reaction to radiation simply lost it when something tried to eat them and they escaped. I wonder if primitive peoples fairly often suffer injuries and lose parts of fingers. Edit: The piece strikes me as possibly originally written in French and translated. Perhaps the title is a poor translation?
- LargoLasskhyfv 4y agoMaybe it's context dependent? Some specific lingo for a field of research. More (culture)anthropological, symbolic, than our common use for a medication. However, I've read that three times and didn't get it. But interesting nonetheless, the rest of it, I mean.
- irrational 4y agoSince 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.
- macrael 4y agoIs there a link to a complete list of images of the paintings? This site only has a few dozen.
- etothepii 4y agoIs 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.
