Cueva de las Manos

Hands, at Cueva de las Manos
Hands, at Cueva de las Manos
  • ... that of the hundreds of hands stenciled at Cueva de las Manos as artwork (pictured), very few show a right hand? Source: "Cueva de las Manos . . . yielded counts of 329 left hands to 31 right ones" ([1])
    • ALT1:... that the artwork at Cueva de las Manos (pictured) was first created between 13,000 and 9,500 years ago? Source: "The Cueva de las Manos, Río Pinturas, contains an exceptional assemblage of cave art, executed between 13,000 and 9,500 years ago." ([2])

  • The lead states: "The art in the cave dates to between 11,000 to 7,000 BC". That’s a 500 years discrepancy with ALT1. Schwede66 07:39, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
Schwede66, I've fixed the discrepancy. Thanks for pointing that out! Tyrone Madera (talk) 23:07, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
The picture and the hooks are hooky and the hook is referenced to a reliable source. The article is a GA so fine for length and dozens of references. Its neutral and interesting. The image is not only fine, its a featured image. No sign of close paraphrasing and the sources look good. Nice article and contribution by Tyrone. Good to go.
