Red Sox with lead off double off the Green Monster...there's a feeling that goes with a pose in the Animal Kingdom...body language...and the ancient rock artists were good at conveying feelings, not so good at being realistic drawing artisans...home run...tie game...Angels 3-3...they knew their animals, and what one another looked like when hunting...the cattle above standing around look/feel like cattle standing around...I dunno...what more can be asked of an artistic representation?...if asked to paint on a blank rock cattle standing around, I couldn't, likely no modern artist could, we haven't the direct sense of the scene the ancient rock artists did...they were absolutely sincere and true...note the camel riders!...one camel with forelegs and backlegs together off the ground...the other camel with scissor legs...way on the left is a horse(?) leaping...here again a favorite elephant...

Before the Sahara became a desert, it was home to many savanna animals, including the giraffe. People began to paint and etch the Sahara's animals in desert rock about 12,000 years ago. Archaeologists estimate that the oldest remaining pictures date back to 6500 BCE.
