By collecting samples of paint, researchers were able to identify the types of carbons in the pigments and ultimately date them as more than 5,000 years old – deeming the drawings the ‘earliest directly dated’ paintings in the region

 -
The rock art in questions is located at 14 sites in three different regions of Southern Africa: the Thune Dam, Botswana, the Phuthiatsana Valley, Lesotho and the Maclear District in South Africa

Mena: The Prehistoric South African rock art are similar to the Prehistoric caves art of Spain and France. The Twa people of South Africa who were call the Grimaldi in Europe are the one who painted the rock and caves art in South African, Spain and france France.

I think this rock art is 50,000 years old instead of 5,000, 5,000 year old is not old enough to be a rock cave painting, going by standards of rock cave paintings....

I agree Mindovermatter I think the South African rock art is 50,000 years old. For some reason the researchers are saying their paint test show the rock art is 5000 years old. The paint test most be bad or fraudulent.
