World's Oldest Known Comic Strip Or Animated Cartoon: The 5000 Year Old Jumping Goat
2020-09-22
[Old European Culture] This series of pictures is one of earliest examples of an artist's attempting to show motion through animation. Now if you were able to spin the vessel around (fastish) this is what you would see.
The artifact is actually from ancient Iran.

Go to site to see the "animation".

So cave paintings by firelight.
Stand next to the fire, spin, and watch them run?
