The world's oldest known painting is a cave wall artwork - Apparently.
In the cave of Le Portel, France, archaeologists discovered a 36,000-year-old painting of a red disk with a black outline, dated to the Upper Paleolithic era. The painting is estimated to be one of the oldest examples of human expression through art. The cave's artwork is significant not only for its age but also for its simplicity, which challenges the conventional notion that ancient art must be intricate and detailed. The discovery was made in 1994 by a team of French researchers.
