Rock Art in Indonesia
Extremely ancient cave paintings in Sulawesi dating from about 39,000 years ago. Possibly rewriting the story of modern humans' expansion across the planet.
Note: Hopes that the discovery might draw attention to the need to protect the caves, many of which have been damaged by mining and other industrial activity.
