This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Pics or it didn't happen.
How long have pics existed? How long is history? And yet I'm thinking there could still be a pic.
IIRC history started with the invention of written word, somewhere around 6000 years ago

Cave art existed for at least 40000 years

I would say, that drawings also count as history. They show glimpses how how life has been 10.000 and more years ago.
