This undated handout photo shows a dated pig painting at Leang Tedongnge in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Archaeologists have discovered the world's oldest known cave painting: a life-sized picture of a wild pig that was made at least 45,500 years ago in Indonesia. The finding was described in the journal Science Advances on January 13, 2021, and also provides the earliest evidence of human settlement of the region. Co-author Maxime Aubert of Australia's Griffith University told AFP it was found on the island of Sulawesi in 2017 by doctoral student Basran Burhan, as part of surveys the team was carrying out with Indonesian authorities. - RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT "AFP PHOTO /MAXIME AUBERT/GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY/HANDOUT" - NO MARKETING - NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS / AFP / GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY / Maxime AUBERT / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT "AFP PHOTO /MAXIME AUBERT/GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY/HANDOUT" - NO MARKETING - NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS
