Archaeologists had previously identified prehistoric paintings made with red ocher on the ceiling and walls of Tham Din cave, depicting humans, animals, and abstract designs.
Notes on verification
Multiple independent outlets (Live Science, Vietnam News/VietnamPlus, Bangkok Post, All That's Interesting, Jerusalem Post) corroborate the presence of red ocher prehistoric paintings depicting humans, animals, and abstract designs at Tham Din cave, though all trace back to the same Thai Fine Arts Department announcement.
