Australian and Indonesian scientists discovered the world's oldest narrative art in a limestone cave in South Sulawesi, Indonesia.

The artwork, depicting human figures interacting with a wild pig, is believed to be over 51,200 years old.

This finding challenges previous beliefs about the origins of cave art.

Researchers used a new dating technique to reveal the deep origin of visual storytelling in human history.

The scenes suggest a special connection between early humans and pigs, potentially due to their significance in hunting.

The discovery highlights the advanced mental capacity of early humans and the significant role of narrative art in shaping human history and creativity.

Similar ancient art in Turkey and Australia also hints at a culture of storytelling, with depictions of hunting scenes and legends.
