Painting or symbols contained in the walls of the cave seems to be the origin of the written language. First invented in France and then found in various parts of the world. I wonder what message can we catch the paintings or symbols.
A visitor looks at the walls of the Great Hall of Bulls, Lascaux II caves, Dordogne, France, which has prehistoric paintings are beautiful, until now. Only recently have researchers started looking, half-circle of strange squiggles, lines and zigzag around them. It may be a key to understanding the earlier forms of human communication.
These rock paintings in the Chobe National Park, Botswana, describes an eland, elephant and antelope or gemsbok. However, the symbols that surround those who may hold the key to understanding early human communication.
zigzag lines do not appear until 20,000 years ago and 13,000 years ago have disappeared. Any form of same-shaped snaking from 30,000 years ago, but disappeared from about 13,000 years ago. Similar symbols have been found in Australia, Central Africa, Europe, and South and North America.
This hand painted on cave walls in the Rio Pinturas, Argentina. Form created by pressing the hand of all or part of the hand toward the surface, using paint or clay.
Although obvious, this symbol is very surprising and rare, found only less than 7 percent of the French site. First discovered in Chauvet, and seems to have spread to many regions until 13,000 years ago until the end is not used anymore.This symbol is also found in Australia and Burma.
The hand symbol in a cave murals dominate native to Australia, shows how far the spread of the symbol. There is also a symbol of the spiral at the top of the roof. Spiral symbol was found in only two French sites, which surprised the researchers because it was a common motif in this culture.
Although rare in France, there are also features of the spiral symbol in rock art throughout the world, including China, Africa, Europe and South America.
These paintings are found in the caves of Lascaux II. Symbol shaped like an obvious point but so also is rectangular (to the left of the long point). Rectangular-shaped symbol was found in 20 percent of the site and have been associated with sites in South Africa, India and South and North America.
These symbols are found in caves in the Rio Pinturas, Argentina. Concentrated in the lower left circle is considered as early examples of synecdoche (using a part of something to represent the whole), and the ways that represent the ideas of symbolic rather than realistic. Similar circles elsewhere have been used to represent the eye in painting horses and bulls.
Dots and dashes are some of the most common symbols. The dots in various sizes appeared in 42 percent of French sites, including this one at Chauvet. The lines are found in more than 70 percent of the site and emerged from 30,000 years ago until 10,000 years ago.
What about in Indonesia?
Apparently not lose too many paintings or symbols that are found in Indonesia.The discovery of cave paintings in South Sulawesi for the first conducted by the CHM kalianya Heeren-Palm in 1950 at Leang PattaE.
In this cave were also found labeling in hand with a background of red paint.Perhaps this is the stamp of the left hand of women. There are even hand labeling the hand is made by stretching fingers of that hand on the wall of the cave and then sprinkled with red paint.
In the cave were also found painting a pig who was jumping deer with an arrow in the heart. Perhaps the painting is intended as a kind of hope that they managed to hunt in the woods. Hog deer were depicted with horizontal stripes of red colored

In Maluku, the inventor of the cave wall paintings are J. Roder in 1937, although probably already familiar with the surrounding community before Roder found.Roder menemuan cave paintings as many as 100 pieces on the island of Seram, in the rock walls above the Tala River. The painting was found in the form of pictures of deer, birds, humans, boats, symbol of the sun, and eyes.
In addition to be found on the island of Seram, Maluku rock paintings are also found in the Kei Islands, on the cliff with a height of 5-10 meters above sea level.The paintings were found in the Kei Islands in general just be a straight line, but there are colored on the inside, especially for the human image.
Unless people with various scenes (dancing, fighting, holding a shield, and squat with both hands raised) , there is also a pattern mask, bird, boat, sun, and geometric shapes.

People who are considered to record the first time prehistoric paintings in Papua is Johannes Keyts (a dealer) on the way to the coast of Banda Nuw Guinea in 1678. He passed a cliff at the edge of the bay Speelman filled with skulls, a human sculpture, and paintings on cave walls with red color
Posted in caves and niches in Sulawesi Tenggra contained in Mentanduro, La Kabori, Kolumbo, Shops, and wa Bose , while niche-niche is La Sabo, Ladder Ara, La Nasrofa, and Ida Malangi. All these relics are in the area around fields Liabalano, Kampung Mabolu, Bolo Village, District Kotobu.
Art rock's most interesting is Tamrin Cave and Cave Ham because so many images in it. Cave Tamrin Marang is situated near the river, has a number of masked dancers paintings that cover the entire head. The painting is similar to traditional dances are still held in some tribes in Papua.
Meanwhile, in the Caves of Ham found a pattern stamp as a dancer, tapirs, deer and vegetation. Chazine argued that the pattern of the hand stamp is encountered in the cave is the most in the world.
Painting and symbols contained in the caves is a very precious historical relics.To the extent that the cave paintings found in Lascaux, made the replica so the original is maintained.
