Based on information about the existence of this image, it has been claimed to have been obtained by ARKENAS Research Center since the 1990s. Besides old, the painting is also a proof of the existence of human culture for a long time.
"This image is one of the important innovations in the history of human culture rooted in the ice age in Indonesia when it was still integrated with the Asian continent" explained Head of the ARKENAS Research Center, I Made Geria, at a press conference at Ministry of Education and Culture Building A, Central Jakarta, Thursday, November 8th 2018.
Researchers revealed the findings of this painting could be a comparison with images of younger people. From there, it can be seen that innovative images have developed from time to time. "The oldest picture is a picture of an unidentified animal, possibly he is a wild bull species that is still found in the depths of the forests of Borneo" said Max Aubert, a researcher from Griffith University.
