Wildfires threaten the world's oldest cave paintings in Indonesia

انڈونیشیا میں جنگل کی آگ دنیا کی قدیم ترین غار پینٹنگز کے لیے خطرہ بن گئی

इंडोनेशिया में जंगल की आग दुनिया की सबसे पुरानी गुफा चित्रकला के लिए ख़तरा बन गई

Wildfires threaten the world's oldest cave paintings in Indonesia

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • Indonesia's fiercest wildfires in more than ten years are threatening the world's oldest cave paintings on the island of Sulawesi, researchers warn.
  • In South Sulawesi's Maros-Pangkep, an artwork showing human-like figures with a pig was dated by Australia's Griffith University to at least 51,200 years old, while a hand stencil on Muna Island was dated to at least 67,800 years.
  • Fires burned within 800 metres of the Maros-Pangkep caves and more than 270 hectares of the national park burned between September 30 and October 18.
  • محققین نے خبردار کیا ہے کہ انڈونیشیا میں دس سال سے زیادہ عرصے کی شدید ترین جنگل کی آگ سولاویسی جزیرے پر دنیا کی قدیم ترین غار پینٹنگز کے لیے خطرہ بن گئی ہے۔ جنوبی سولاویسی کے ماروس پانگکیپ میں انسان نما شکلوں اور سور کی تصویر کو آسٹریلیا کی گریفتھ یونیورسٹی نے کم از کم 51,200 سال پرانی قرار دیا ہے، جبکہ مونا جزیرے پر ہاتھ کے نشان کو کم از کم 67,800 سال پرانا بتایا گیا ہے۔ آگ ماروس پانگکیپ غاروں سے 800 میٹر کے فاصلے تک پہنچ گئی اور 30 ستمبر سے 18 اکتوبر کے درمیان نیشنل پارک کے 270 ہیکٹر سے زیادہ رقبے کو جلا دیا۔ شعلوں کے براہ راست لگے بغیر بھی گرمی اور دھوئیں کی سیاہی ان پینٹنگز کو نقصان پہنچا سکتی ہے۔
  • शोधकर्ताओं ने चेतावनी दी है कि इंडोनेशिया में दस साल से अधिक समय की सबसे भीषण जंगल की आग सुलावेसी द्वीप पर दुनिया की सबसे पुरानी गुफा चित्रकला के लिए ख़तरा बन गई है। दक्षिण सुलावेसी के मारोस-पांगकेप में मानव जैसी आकृतियों और सूअर वाली कलाकृति को ऑस्ट्रेलिया के ग्रिफ़िथ विश्वविद्यालय ने कम से कम 51,200 वर्ष पुराना बताया है, जबकि मूना द्वीप पर हाथ के निशान को कम से कम 67,800 वर्ष पुराना माना गया है। आग मारोस-पांगकेप गुफाओं से 800 मीटर की दूरी तक पहुँच गई और 30 सितंबर से 18 अक्टूबर के बीच राष्ट्रीय उद्यान के 270 हेक्टेयर से अधिक क्षेत्र को जला दिया। लपटों के सीधे संपर्क के बिना भी गर्मी और धुएँ की कालिख इन चित्रों को नुकसान पहुँचा सकती है।

Fires burned within 800 metres of the Maros-Pangkep caves and more than 270 hectares of the national park burned between September 30 and October 18. Heat and smoke soot can accelerate damage to the paintings even without flames touching them.
