"Oldest human artwork so far" in caves of Indonesia
#1
The art is a hand-print (stencil) now so faint that it can almost go unnoticed.
The dating of the materials leads to something approaching 70,000 years old... older even that the previous contender for the title of oldest ma-made art said to be a Neanderthal hand stencil in Spain.

This 67,800-year-old hand stencil is the world’s oldest human-made art 
 
Quote:About 67,800 years ago, someone stood in the darkness of Liang Metanduno and placed their hand flat against the limestone wall. They, or maybe a friend, then blew a mixture of pigment and water onto the wall, covering and surrounding their hand. When they pulled their hand carefully away from the rock, careful not to disturb the still-wet paint, they left behind a crisp outline of their palm and fingers, haloed by a cloud of deep red.
The result is basically the negative of a handprint, and it’s a visceral, tangible link to the past. Someone once laid their hand on the cave wall right here, and you can still see its outline like a lingering ghost, reaching out from the other side of the rock. If you weren’t worried about damaging the already faded and fragile image, you could lay your hand in the same spot and meet them halfway.
