I know they found buildings and settlements that they dated 10-12,000 years old. But how old is the oldest writing/symbol/art ever found?
Well, considering that art predated writing, it would have to be some sort of manipulated item. There may be utentils/tools older than this, but the Hohlenstein-Stadel lion-man dates to about 30,000 B.C. http://www.proprofs.com/flashcards/upload/q11250728.jpgI believe there are probably older items out there, but the lion-man is one of the cooler items, IMO.
The oldest work of “art” with which I am familiar are the rock designs in the Blombos Cave in South Africa (c. 75,000 B.C.). The designs looks like a series of criss-crossed parallel lines. But hey – it’s art.
