Stone Age?... Intrigue!
I don't know what brought what up,
but there's apparently some photographic evidence of cave drawings in Kuwait.
Boss Man said that Dr. Theresa Howard-Carter and Dr. Fahad Al-Wohaibi (former KNM boss) found some cave drawings in Ma7miyyat Shaikh Sabah (Amir's Sanctuary). However, becuase they exposed it, it is no longer there.
I told Boss Man that an immediate excavation of the site needs to happen, lest anyone messes anything up. I say this becuase if there were drawings, then there's gotta be tools buried.
Oh. And did i mention that this is supposedly from the Stone Age? Dated approximately 8,000 years B.C?
We don't have a Stone Age in Kuwait, but this might prove otherwise.
I'm off to search for those pictures now :D
PS: We have a Bronze Age though ....
Failaka's, and Subbiya's.

baboonij:
it's mentioned in a lot of place that kuwait has stone age heritage (aka: H3 in subbiya and such), but i just can't find the sources that say we had CAVE DRAWINGS, which would've been omg, SO much cooler. it's literally like, would i rather find out that we had some dudes setting up camp 3,000 years ago or knowing that we had graffiti artists 8,000 years ago. It's so entirely a matter of personal coolness factor. tee!
