Understanding the meaning in a painting, even though it looks very easy, is sometimes constrained by the structure of language, symbols and codes in a painting. In this case, to solve the meaning and purpose in a painting, it requires the involvement of world archaeologists.

Changing times, often lead to different perceptions in revealing facts about ancient paintings. The influence of advances in science and technology is a major factor, so that the world history of early human life is often debated by various parties. Historical writings by historians of the past are often considered as unfactual descriptions because the development of modern research reveals different research results. As a result, historical writings that are considered true by the public are now a mystery.

Indeed, history must be revealed factually, not just individual understanding. In this case, the public feels confused by the different perceptions of various parties, because historical publications were initially understood by ordinary people, such as elementary school children, high school students to university students.

Studying ancient life is indeed quite difficult, the more people involved in the research, the more perceptions there are.Who to trust? Or, should historical writings be deleted because they are not factual?

Believe it or not in history books, it depends on how we listen and study it. No one can be blamed for this, as some people involved in the research can assume.
