## Resource

Bacon Hole in South Wales just got a major rewrite in history—what was once dismissed as natural mineral streaks is now the oldest known cave art in Britain and northwestern Europe, dating back 17,100 years. Rediscovered thanks to modern uranium-thorium dating, the vivid red pigments were deliberately applied in structured patterns, likely by early humans using their fingers. The original 1912 discoverers were wrongfully ignored, a stark reminder of how science evolves. Led by Dr. George Nash, the team now urges protection for this stunning site, which still lacks official heritage status despite its revolutionary significance.
