Australian scientists find a sculpture from prehistoric cave wall while fossil hunting giant rats in Lene Hara Cave, East Timor. Scientists estimate sculpture came from the Pleistocene period, approximately 12,000 years ago.
Sculptures depict prehistoric human faces, one with a unique headdress that represents the sun. Sculptural type was the first and only one in East Timor from the Pleistocene period.
Ken Aplin of Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organization (CSIRO), which involved the mission said that he found the sculpture by accident. When looking up, the flashlight on his head was suddenly illuminated sculpture that.
"Looking up from the cave floor, my head flashlight shining on something that looks like sculpture. I looked around my head with a flashlight and saw the entire panel of human faces carved on the walls of prehistoric caves," he said.
Aplin said: "Local people who worked with us fascinated by the discovery. They say that the faces have chosen this day to reveal themselves because they are proud of what we do."
Another cave art forms were also found and estimated age of 30,000 years. Last year, the CSIRO said that they had discovered ancient species of giant rat that is claimed to have a size of a small dog.
