>priceless

m8 don't pretend like you wouldn't be outraged if the same thing happened to those cave paintings in France.

Laugh at abbos all you want but this was an archaeological treasure.

Doesn't Islam promote the destruction of ancient historical landmarks and art forms?

lol

#notallislam

Who just leaves archaeological treasures lying around for random jackoffs to spraypaint?

This, honestly.

They may not have done much in 8,000 years but it's still important given its age.

That's actually fucked up though

I don't care whether it was made by humans or gorillas, destroying something that old should be a death sentence.

It looks like the check'em hand.

You got singles, so it being crossed out is just another facet of meme magic.

this

Even Hitler did not destroy russian art but took it away from them into safety.

Damn it Kek!

Yeah, a hand has the same value as a fucking whome fresco

Literally nothing of value was lost.

We have lots of pictures, stories, and documentation of these pieces. We do not need the actual 8,000 year old hand-print in tact to enjoy the beauty of it.

Likely done by one of their own to try and get some gibmedats for the community.

Another thing the Aussies are going to have to apologise for on Sorry Day.

I agree, anyone that destroys art/books/historical artifacts should be gassed, but I still got a laugh out of "priceless aboriginal rock art"

Tasmanian Aboriginals died off and since there was none of them left to protect their art it deserved to be destroyed. We should learn from this and preserve the white race so it can preserve white art.

what the fuck is Jersey

>priceless

Old Jersey is in between France and England, m8.
Honestly, it's not even a rare flag.

doesn't matter if you consider this art or not, its still a historical legacy and the guy who did this is a nigger.

Jersey is one of the Channel Islands. It's in the English Channel, between England and France.

The Americans didn't call it NEW Jersey for a giggle mate, keep up.

...

$5 says it was Chnese tourists

So where is York?

Flip this left to right and you've got yourself a mighty rare pepe...

York in Pennsylvania is named after the York of England. I live there

Wait so what's the deal with New England then?

>What makes their destruction even more devastating for Tasmania’s Aboriginal people is that the vandalism was discovered on May 24 – the day before Sorry Day, a national day of remembrance for the horrendous ways that European colonists treated the Aborigines for centuries

fuck now that's TWO things I gotta apologize for tomorrow.

hahahahahahahhaha

we didnt forget about the user who skullfucked a skull from the french catacombs, did we?

Northern England, there's a place called New York up there too

>Sorry Day, a national day of remembrance for the horrendous ways that European colonists treated the Aborigines for centuries
why

It's the capital city of Yorkshire, in the North of England. Although considering economic power, one would argue that's Leeds.

>'oh', look at that, yea righ back on the piss

FFWD 8000 years

'Art'

Did anyone tell the aussies "worthless" isn't synonymous with "priceless"?

...well you got me there.
> It's a pretty petty and shitty thing to do.
But seeing what i have seen i wouldn't be surprised if it was some lefty agitator. Don't know who to trust anymore.

>Visit stonehenge a few years ago
>Covered in graffiti
How can we rid our culture of this degeneracy?

I don't expect a child to understand it - maybe when you're older - but there is something sacred about those paintings. About wanting to reach out and place your own hand on them. The ones who made them, tens of thousands of years ago, they were not so much different from you and I. They were human, and they made those imprints as a way of saying "here I am, here we were, see?". It is all that is left of them. Every other thing that was around them has vanished, the land changed. Even the stars no longer look the same.

Those imprints deserve respect, it is the last remnant of long-gone people, it reminds us of the human-ness of humanity, and the world is a bit more empty for having such an artifact destroyed.

It was more than just the hand print, dipshit.

pretty much this. yeah, sure, whatever, lel nignogs gonna nognig but history is history and destroying it for pretty much any reason is horseshit

Honestly i smile when art like this is destroyed. The abos are not white peoples allies, who cares.

>One of the earliest works of art in human history
>Ha ha it's vandalized!
Literally nigger tier shit. Fuck you Sup Forums

Abbos themselves are archeological treasures

>Sorry day

Abbos did it last week with a can of spray paint

They huffed it then painted their hands this isn't an archeological treasure

fucking this

Exactly this.

The abbos were a stone-age culture - we will never see what stone-age humans were like again, and their shit is the latest around, so we have to preserve it in the highest quality possible so future historians can know.

It's fucked up, but Abbos are subhumans so fuck 'em

>So sad to see such a great cultures art destroyed because of racism.


I'd bet good money that some Abo did it.

Why tho? Just give any random abo off the street .12$ worth of petrol and a garbage bag. He'll make you a new one and it'll probably be better.

they are savages and need to be wiped from history

australia didnt exist until we landed there...fuck the abo savages!

Fuck you, OP. This is human history that's been defaced. It's 8000 years old. Anything humans did that is that old has literally priceless historical value. It doesn't matter that it's just a hand print or that it's the product of an ethnic group you think is irrelevant. It's part of the prehistoric history of our species.

abos are sub human...the maori are chill though

>>What makes their destruction even more devastating for Tasmania’s Aboriginal people is that the vandalism was discovered on May 24 – the day before Sorry Day, a national day of remembrance for the horrendous ways that European colonists treated the Aborigines for centuries

pic related. And I don't think abbos are clever enough to do this by themselves...

>stonehenge is covered in graffiti

Oh now i'm pissed.

This
Reminds me of how we have to cover up rune carvings with swastikas on them, because they get get spray painted by antifa kids that think the vikings did the holocaust.

They destroy our stuff we destroy theirs eye for an eye cunt =^)

>they made those imprints as a way of saying "here I am, here we were, see?


Maybe they were just bored and thought it looked cool. No point in dramatizing it.

yeah, that one's awful too. any defacement of ancient art or society stuff left around is some subhuman shit

>check 'em

Making fun of archaeological shit getting ruined is degenerate and fucking liberal shit. Stop this nonsense.

Please tell me that's not chalk I see

Some wild animals made some marks on a wall. I don't care if it gets wiped away.

>prehistoric aboriginal
just have them make another one

>because of racism.
what a retard.

This, destroying art and/or history is something degenerate barbarians would do

abc.net.au/radionational/programs/backgroundbriefing/burrup-peninsula-rock-art-shows-extinct-megafauna/6561788

Australian government is literally right now legally destroying the world oldest rock art in the name of industry expansion.

Go to controversies.


FUCK THE WORLD
FUCK ART
FUCK HISTORY
t. Australia

another pic. hope they get them.

Further to these, this is the recently discovered abo stone henge.
This celestial stone circle is older though.

It's location in the youyangs Victoria still hasn't been released due to the governments fear it will be destroyed.

Yup

This. Fuck vandals

Gonna have to agree. Fuck an abbo but yeah, that's history there. Might as well Allah akbar the Buddha again.

>8000 year old painting of a hand
>30 000 years ago we had this
please

1 it's dumb to vandalize these paintings
2 BUT you have to understand that rock paintings aren't revered the same way pieces of art are in western or even oriental tradition. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY RETOUCHED AND RESTORED by tribesmen. They painted over their old work 10 000 years ago, 8000 years ago, 2000 years ago, hell aboriginals were even doing it in the 1970's, so to claim this is a loss and damaged beyond repair is to be incredibly ignorant of aboriginal art and rock painting

Honestly, I lold. That's crap a one year old would make

True, damaging historical material is subhuman regardless of what it is. You're ruining it for every single generation to come, defacing proof of our origin and existence and ruining all of the tourists' day

Actually, yes given the context. Any archeological finding is a treasure and must be preserved for future analysis

no

if we wait long enough, will that vandalism become part of the art too?

>Sorry Day
Jesus fucking Christ, this is like something Canada would do

that wasnt even that bad, they still put bones into the catacombs and theres millions of them there
Cave paintings that are thousands of years old are on a whole other level

what the hell more can you add to some paint thrown over a hand on a wall

These cave paintings are/were important if only for the reason that the Tasmanian Abos were probably a completely different species than homo sapiens. Pretty much equivalent to defacing neanderthal art.

I despise people who destroy historical artifacts.

>and here's charlemagne's tomb, some faggot pissed on it in the 1500 but that's historical too!

...

actually no, you don't

that sounds like an uninformed opinion. see vid here and skip to 1:02:29 if you want to learn something today

lel, faggot.

i wouldnt be outraged if france was fucking nuked 2bh lad

A happy little tree.

lmao a fucking scribble on a fucking rock
>aboriginal artists

Yeah I didn't read your post yet
Now I don't really care

most of the cave paintings are protected by huge fucking vault doors so whatever

dont you have literal bulls to be prepping?

Everyone ITT that thinks this is OK should watch Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams

>The ones who made them, tens of thousands of years ago, they were not so much different from you and I.

They were fucking aboriginees, lad. You're glorifying touching an ape's paw.

only saudi wahabbis supported by the west, the fact that all monuments and history that is preserved in egypt iran iraq for 1400 years after islam is the greatest proof that it is not an islam teaching.
