    I wonder why nobody has ever called pre-historic cave paintings Graffiti. Maybe that’s precisely what it was back then.

        @neiltyson Or maybe Graffiti today is just story telling like cave paintings were.

        @neiltyson apparently the only ones preserved were those worthy of being done deep in caves. The “graffiti” on exterior walls disappeared!

        .@blair_houghton those are carved, not painted like the ones I’m referring to. Oxidation destroyed what must have been graffiti! @neiltyson

        @vivavelo @neiltyson graffiti literally means scratchings, so they count. no doubt a lot of paintings have been lost.

        .@blair_houghton Very few carvings in that part of Europe from the period about 10–30,000 years ago. A few fish were carved.
