The stone painting is 12,800 years old

The painting is thought to have been made by hunters in the Ice Age. Archeologists have identified the date of the oldest rock painting in England found in Creswell Grags and said it dates over 12,800 years ago.

The team of archaeologists from three universities, Bristol, Sheffield and Open, dated this painting by measurements based on the trace of uranium radioactivity in the limestone samples on the drawing.

Archaeologists say they found many drawings on the walls and ceilings of caves in 2003. Pictures depict animals such as Europe's bison, now extinct in the UK. , and other drawings.

The drawings were created by groups of hunters in the Ice Age and dug up from Creswell's caves dating from 13,000-15,000 years ago. This new result shows that art may have been born very early by those who made these paintings.
