pjk7009 writes: I have found some unverified potential rock art in the middle chamber of Pendine Bone Cave. The carvings are on the arch looking out to sea and comprise of four parallel lines cut in to the rock. They are strikingly similar to the carvings discussed in this article which suggest that previously overlooked patterns in the cave art of southern France and Spain suggest man might have learned written communication 25,000 years earlier than we thought.
Note: A possible rock art discovery? Based on reports of similar patterns found in caves in France and Spain
