Quote from: viper37 on Today at 07:41:20 PMThere are paleolithic paintings that are just as good. As Picasso (perhaps apocryphally said), upon viewing the paintings of Lascaux, "we have invented nothing". Just because these paintings are old doesn't mean they get a pass for being ugly.Quote from: Razgovory on Today at 07:28:44 PMActual image is less impressiveIt's a neolithic stone drawing, not renaissance art.

QuoteThe rock painting depicts a newborn between parents, a star in the east, and two animals. It was discovered on the ceiling of a small cavity in the Egyptian Sahara desert, Seeker reported. Researchers believe it dates to the Neolithic or Stone Age.
"It's a very evocative scene which indeed resembles the Christmas nativity. But it predates it by some 3,000 years," geologist Marco Morelli, director of the Museum of Planetary Sciences in Prato, Italy, told Seeker. The site reports that Morelli and his team discovered the rock art in 2005, but only now are revealing their findings under the title "Cave of the Parents."
The rock painting, done in a reddish-brown ochre, has several notable features: a headless lion, a baboon or monkey, a star set in the east, and a baby who is slightly raised to the sky, a position that could have signified birth or pregnancy, Seeker reported.
The rock painting raises questions about the meaning ascribed to nativity scenes long before the birth of Christ.
"No doubt it's an intriguing drawing," Morelli said. "We didn't find similar scenes until the early Christian age."
