“Cueva de las Manos (Cave of the Hands) is a cave in Argentina. The art on the walls of the cave dates from 13,000 to 9,000 years BC. The early artwork has been carbon-dated to ca. 9300 BC. The age of the paintings was calculated from the remains of bone-made pipes used for spraying the paint on the wall of the cave to create hand silhouettes. Because the hands are mostly left hands, scientists believe that the painters held the spraying pipe with their right hand”
