The researchers say Indonesian rock art is decaying at an alarming rate due to the effects of climate change.This includes a picture of a wild boar painted 45,500 years ago on Sulawesi Island, which is said to be the oldest cave painting in the world. Other cave patterns in the region that depict hunting scenes and supernatural creatures also collapse faster as temperatures increase.The discovery signals that more needs to be done to preserve the precious art.[These pieces of art] disappear before our eyes," said Dr.
Jillian Huntley, lead study from the สมัคร slotxo Griffith Center for Social and Cultural Research, in a statement.In a study published in Scientific Reports last week, a team of Australian and Indonesian researchers found that rising temperatures and other extreme weather patterns, such as consecutive dry days and heavy monsoons, have accelerated the pace of climate change. Collectors of salt inside a rock art living cave system.Salt will swell and contract as the environment is hot and cool. On hot days,
geological salt can grow three times more than its initial size.These salt crystals, which grow on top and back of rock art, can knock parts of the painting off the cave wall.Dr. Huntley added that she believed "The degradation of this remarkable rock art is worsening global temperatures.I am confused by the prevalence of destructive salt crystals and their chemistry on stone panels, some of which we know are more than 40,000 years old,We urgently need further rock art research and conservation to have
the best opportunities for preserving Indonesia's Pleistocene cave paintings.The life-sized images of the Sulawesi warts appear to be part of the narrative found in the Leang Tedongnge cave in a remote valley on Sulawesi Island.It is the earliest evidence of human settlement in the region.The painting is the oldest in the world. But it's not the oldest human-made art.In South Africa, a hashtag-like doodle created 73,000 years ago is believed to be the oldest known painting.
