I don’t know about you, but I feel hope and wonder when reminded that we don’t know/haven’t seen everything. Here’s a nice surprise for those who haven’t already seen it.

Archaeologists have uncovered 8 miles of wall paintings in Columbia that they estimate to be about 12,000 years old.

I’m not going to give all the details here because I’m including a bunch of links to articles. I’m doing it this way because the story needs the visuals. The photos, videos, and maps included in the articles (even if you don’t read the articles) give much needed perspective. And they’re so pretty!

I left the links in URL format so you can see the original website in case you want to pick and choose which you open.

Have fun!
