Animation discovered on 5,200-year-old pottery
A 5,200 year old piece of pottery from Iran has been discovered to embody the oldest known animation in the world -- a wild goat eating vegetation:
The wild goat motif can be seen on Iranian pottery dating back to the 4th millennium BCE, as well as jewellery pieces especially among Cassite tribes of ancient Luristan. However, the oldest wild goat representation in Iran was discovered in Negaran Valley in Sardast region, 37 kilometers from Nahok village near Saravan back in 1999.
The engraved painting of wild goat is part of an important collection of lithoglyphs dating back to 8000 BCE.
However, wild goat representation with a tree is associated with Murkum, a mother goddess who was worshipped by all the Indo-Iranian women of the Haramosh valley in modern Pakistan, which culturally had closer ties with Indus and subsequently the Burnt City civilisations, than Mesopotamia, which could had influenced the ancient potter who made this unique piece.
Thursday, we all got to go home early and enjoy some serious snow in Dallas. My husband went to check on goats and found Momo had gotten into an old basket. Momo put on the basket like a hula hoop except he got stuck. Momo ate the bottom out of the basket then got in it. :)
David got Momo out of the basket only after I had snapped a few pictures to share.
We love having the goats to entertain us, they are like naughty toddlers.

Momo taking an afternoon nap at first glance you assume rigormortis has set in but he is just snoozing on a lazy afternoon.
View from the kitchen of Momo trying to back into the door then Katy seeing him.
There is never a dull moment with 3 year olds or goats.
