Black drawings found in cave in Perak

via Metro.my, 06 September 2021: Newly-discovered rock art in Perak, Malaysia. The article says the black drawings are estimated to be between 2,500 and 4,000 years old, but I am skeptical as they look similar to other drawings created by the Orang Asli in the same area and are probably not more than a few hundred years old. The articles indexed here are in Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese.

Sebuah persatuan warisan menemukan lukisan gua yang dianggarkan berusia antara 2,500 hingga 4,000 tahun di Gua Kanthan, Chemor di sini.

Pelbagai lukisan terdapat pada dinding dan lelangit gua tersebut seperti diconteng arang hitam dan berwarna merah berbentuk kapal, manusia, matahari, haiwan serta turut dijumpai kulit siput dipercayai jenis ‘Brotia Spinola’ dan rangka tuntung.
