Blombos Cave

Blombos Cave , whose entrance from the Indian Ocean coast is seen here, is the site of 100.000 years old Artist's Studio. Archaeologists excavating the Blombos Cave in South Africa have stumbled upon a hoard of Art Materials which include everything an ancient Artist might have required to be creative. Including Paint pots used by humans more than 100,000 years ago. Red and yellow pigments, shell containers and grinding cobbles and bone spatulas - to mix up a paste - were all present in the discovery that, researchers say, is proof that our early ancestors' were more modern than once thought.
