Ancient Australians found the secret to truly immortal art

What is the secret to art that lasts evermore and stays bracing always ? Some say passion , some say rigorous discipline , some say ingeniousness , and some say fungus . The last one is correct .

Anyone who has been to a museum knows the drill . Do not touch the artistic production . Do not get too confining to the art . Do not breath or sneeze on the art . You know what ? Do n’t even bet at the art too firmly . Two blinks . That ’s all the culture you get . Move along .

The curators of museum are n’t being freakishly roughshod . They ’re just well cognizant that absolutely everything in the earth demolish art . Humidity from human breath or climate conditions warps it . Sun and lightsome leech away color . Oils on peel or living matter from unclean hands degrade . Fluctuations in temperature , like the fluctuations brought on by shoving a crowd of sweating people into a elbow room by daylight and emptying that room at night , do it to crack . artistry is ephemeral , no matter how hard we seek to maintain it .

So why do careen drawing in Australia ; subject to 40,000 years of extreme temperature , water , animal life , and the curious hand of humans , still look incredibly smart ? Why does the paint look young ?

Because there is no paint left . examination has showed that many of the drawing have no traces of paint on them at all . What they do have is signs of life . These drawing were put on the rock wall with the spore of fungus and bacterium immix in with the paint . The fungus kingdom , pitch-black in colouring material , grew in the paint and exuded moisture . A dependency of scarlet bacteria , meanwhile , took that wet and used it , producing nutrition for the fungi . Since each level of fungi get on the last coevals , the cast of the drawings stayed on the rock for tens of 1000 of year , wind , weather condition , and all .
