Oldest confirmed cave art is a single red dot

It is now obvious that "street" photography started as "cave photography", however cavemen could never agree what constituted cave photography. Some cavemen argued that anything painted in the cave and around cave was it but others insisted that only candid black and white paintings were geniune cave art.

Wow, the forum says this thread that was started an hour ago has had 12,907 views already. There must be a lot of people who appreciate cave art, or else the copyright lawyers are gearing up for a massive infringement lawsuit against Leica. Maybe a class action suit with all of humanity in the class.

Humans can't sue - The injured class weren't humans.

(Sorry I just noticed that someone beat me to this.)
 
This absolutely proves Leica was the first, and therefore the best.
Conclusively.
No further need to look...

It is now believed that the original inhabitant of the cave was none other than the first president of the LHSA, Grob (the snob).

I bought this cave in France off ebay. The seller assured me it is a real German cave from before World War II ...

It really looks good except for a hideous red dot someone painted on one of the nicer walls inside.

How much is it really worth ...

It's Soviet knock-off.
 
No, no, no guys...it was meant as a warning to others. Caveman recorded in paint the last thing he saw before he was flashed and temporarily blinded by a visitor from the future.
 
Australian archaeologists have discovered corroborating (or is that Corroboreeing?) evidence of an international red dot dealer network 40,000 years ago:

Archaeologist Sue O'Connor at the Australian National University has found a buried fragment of rock painting preserved in the limestone rock-shelter of Carpenter's Gap in the Kimberley (near Windjana Gorge National Park) in a layer dated to 40 000 years old. The red pigment seems to be the remains of paint on a rock art fragment fallen from the ceiling above.

Of course service was very slow, typically taking several generations.
 
Exact replicas of the red dot on handy sized pebbles which can be worn proudly round your neck are now available from the gift shop.
