Rock Paintings



if you guys are ever in jakarta, do visit the museum. given the ethnodiversity of indonesian archipelago, there is so much to see.
but i was rushed for time when they closed early, and this section was all i managed to see. these are negative hand prints. imagine them being 10000 years old !
will try to post some pictures of rock carvings along the korakoram highway next time, taken some time back.
and jeff cho has some pics of rock art taken in bimbetka, madya predesh .

Hello Kryptos,

Thank you for the pictures, they are wonderful.

I have a file of slide pictures in power format. Can you tell me how can I make it available for our members visiting this blog to see it? - cant upload it in the powerpoint format. Is there any way we can upload it on to some other (free) servers (something like Youtube for movies) so that visitors to this blog can view the slides.

Please advise,

Abdullah.

hi abdullah,

will email you on how to save the individual slides in the pps and then upload to flickr ( you can open a free account, if you don't have one yet ) where it can be viewable as a slideshow option.

i do not think youtube is the way to go.

cheers
