Yes, interesting stuff. I had seen that before, but without the explanations of the figures, so thanks for that.

It's not vandalism either. The Vandals were much later and didn't make it to India.

Pretty cool and interesting.
And of course a theory for the painting’s fading and disappearing is higher temps due to climate change....
Cripes!!!! Does everything happen due to climate change? How about it is really frickin’ old and they didn’t seal it!!!

Not everything. Having said that, if the average temperatures in that particular neck of the woods are going up, then yes, the climate changing could be a bad thing for their preservation. The climate is changing, just like it has for millions of years and environmental effects are a real thing. Nowhere did they lay blame. Now we could argue over and over about did they mean it as shorthand for "man-made" climate change, or are they just so very focused on what they are doing and not really thinking about the words they are using. I met both kinds of profs in my time in college, political, and absorbed to the point of being clueless.
Besides that, it's a really neat find.

Saw that, but I did consider they (whomever "they" are) painted those pictures about 30,000 before the Glacial Maximum. So figure it got colder then for the last 15,000 years it has gotten a whole lot warmer and (I would bet) a whole lot damper!
