Talk:Cave of El Castillo

The "oldest know cave painting"
I'm just briefly researching this in my art history class, but it appears that the red stippled disks would no longer be considered the oldest discovered cave painting after 1) A 2014 study discovered non figurative artwork in the Iberian Peninsula were at least 64,000 years old (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25297435/), and 2) a recent depictions of three wild pigs in an Indonesian cave were discovered in 2021 that were about 45,000 years old.
