What Native Americans used before spray paint.
They think some of the art is 10 thousand years old and some 6 thousand. So mankind never got passed being hunter-gatherers in 4 thousand years. Sad and a little insulting. Something important is missing in this timeline.
Right we should let the hate go. We really do have hidden jems EVERY! To talk about.
They though Petrified wood was millions of years old till Mount Saint Hellens blew trees into near-by lakes and they started Petrifying 20 years later..
Amazing,,, 🙏🏻
Oldest? Strange claim. . . . How did they date this rock art??
Seems pretty clear that the black "ar" is charcoal grafitti likely drawn in the last 40 years or so. The red/ochre stuff appears legit.
We have a paleo or old site here in NC. Incredible art left behind in the form of bird effigies.
I have a cave on my property. JB was kind enough to leave his initials on the walls in several places for us to see for hundred of years!
That is so awesome keep it safe
Cave art not cave
This lady ain’t got a damn clue how old that stuff is, they are just spouting out machine created dates. Wth i hate archaeology now a days. Back then it was about what was being observed, now it’s all about guessing a date and calling it fact.
Brainwashing is what it is.
"Red is the color of life, black is the color of death. and this is about the celestial realm" ..So basically they have no idea, and are just putting their own new-age garbage mumbo-jumbo spin on the story.
Caves kept secret to protect them or hide the truth???
This is so stupid some of the art is in another state.
I live here in Tn on the Cumberland Plateau, between Chattanooga and Nashville. We have some amazing views, as well as caves. ❤
Marion smith pictured briefly. He died last week.
Rest in peace Marion. We will miss you.
I will never forget the very deep trip we did together.
Spear points are being found in the Chesapeake bay that are dated over 22,000 years old. There’s a history here in the America’s that we don’t know yet.
It’s truly sad that we put our trust of our history into someone that is sworn to keep the current narrative of our existence safe … I promise you that 6 thousand years ago these people where not just Hunter gatherers … if you’ve ever crawled 3 miles into a cave with todays technology ( flashlight) you know damn well these intellects are full of shit !!
They painted images of themselves as black!!!??? If I were not dark skinned, I wouldn’t sketch myself as dark. Just a thought.
You all have stolen long enough.
Those are not the oldest cave art in North America lol. Maybe you meant …oldest in Tennessee???
I sent him my pics (from the plateau) and he blew me off.
How many times I gotta tell you Running Fox : Don you be doing graffiti on cave walls? What people gonna think thousand years from now? 🪦😜😜😜
It’s because America is really Egypt, Israel and Babylon among others. The Mississippi River is actually the Nile/Euphrates River. The Gulf of Mexico is the Egyptian Sea and the Gulf of California is the Red Sea.
UB TV on YouTube for that info. America is Egypt playlist. 🔥 🔥 🔥
6,000 is not the oldest, Northern Nevada has the oldest Petroglyphs in the USA to date, they have some 11,000 – 20,000 years old. I will try to return with the specifics, it may be at the Windover, Nevada, Cave area.
I believe there are more in Tennessee, Kentucky, and N Georgia that are far older than 6,000 yrs.

Exciting find, nevertheless. We will continue to discover far greater details, going back further, as we progress with the younger Academics, whom have a broader vision and greater tech capabilities.

No matter how many thousands of years going back, if you can interpret correctly, the same Ufo alien beings are described every time.
I don’t think so!
The oldest one in North America is in Tennessee, but the oldest one in the US is in Ohio
WATE 6 is Fake News! Associated Press
You probably never even heard about it,… because it isn’t true!
It’s so odd that theses are the oldest in north America so far. But the oldest in south America are found in Columbia. Sistine chapel of the Amazon. 8 miles of animal art. The youngest drawings are 12,000 years old. You would think they would find even older art in north America then
Wait a minute….was this before Jesus time?
Awesome
Donner summit has petroglyphs that are dated to 9k to 10k years before present. Snake patterns and bear paws.
Now this reporter should connect the Ohio and Mississippi valley mound builders to this culture. Serpent mound is lined up for the summer equinox.
Thank you for this video. Cave art is often regarded as an artistic impression of primitive hunter gatherers but they are also messages from a previous civilization to us. At 3 min 09 sec we see a very rare important example. We see two versions of a cross in a circle. The right one tends to be a swastika. These two symbols, at least depicted around 3,644 BCE, tell us about a recurring disaster that is caused by a celestial body now known as planet 9. That disaster is best known as Noah’s flood or the End time. It wipes out the existing civilization. During the time that that celestial body approaches our planet and later passes by the Earth it changes in appearance. The square cross can be found in every corner of the world. Also the eight beamed version is depicted on cylinder seals and statues that we find everywhere. In California we find them as Petroglyphs as well but also on sand paintings from the Navaho people and in Hopi artifacts. Only in caves, preferably high in the mountains, you could survive this disaster. To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the rebirth of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". This book answers many of your questions about ancient history. It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: planet 9 roest
Bat creek stone in Tennessee. Look it up! It had Hebrew writing on it translated “ For the Judeans”
What there not telling you is there’s cave drawings, right here in the home of WATE 6 of Knoxville Tennessee…
My Indigenous family came to
North America 21,000 year’s by
DNA. The Art is Much older.
Blessings to all
I guess they wrote "Chattanooga" as well
How cool
What about the petroglyphs in northern NV. They are dated 11000 years old?
I thought she said "homeless cave art"
Damnit..
There s a Clovis era cave in Barstow. Gonna look for it and try and make a video this weekend. “Newberry cave”
Is very convenient red symbolizes life black symbolized death, what I think it means.. is the character giving off the descriptions of people animals and things around them, it was black people here in North America long time ago even in the caves in Chicago black people were depicted in the cave art 6000 years ago that debunks the Christopher Columbus theory that he discovered America plus it shows contradictions that the native Americans are entitled to the lands more than the American negro the same way I feel about the Olmec people they were here centuries before the pale American so-called 5 dollar Indians
This land belongs to the Indians
In “The Making of Georgia,” I thought of replicating those paintings on brown newsprint, filmed 🎞 with a lit candle 🕯 in the foreground, to resemble a campfire. 🔥 Combined with, “Twain’s Lament,” This will simulate the extinction of the ice age Megafauna.
So the scene with this haunting music, begins on the walls of the ancient cave, under the firelight.

Why are you messing around with my Cherokee places your not to be snooping around sacred places it’s not for you to know or mess with why don’t you go back to your land of your peoples and mess around there
Looks like they created this. Looks recent. Bet they wished they could see what’s really there, hiding in plain sight lol. They don’t see the actual old things right in front of their faces. I’m a high school dropout with no archeology license and I know way more and see what’s really there.
Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you.
