Lots of ancient cave paintings are found throughout the world. But where the most ancient painting? France.

As quoted from RawStory, the painting bears, rhinos and horses at Chauvet cave, the Ardeche, southern France, the previously estimated age of approximately 12,000 to 17,000 years ago.

Cave paintings that were entered as the Magdalenian culture, which the ancestors of modern humans use tools such as stone and bone, to write and draw.

However, recent carbon tests at the site indicate that the Chauvet cave paintings much older age, ie around 30,000 up to 32,000 years ago, earned him the title of the oldest forms of primitive art.(Taken from any sources)
