This is “old” news. There is an archeological site in Iran called “Burnt city” <\/a> – a settlement which dates back to 2000-3000 BC. There a goblet of 8 by 10 cm was found on which a goat between two plants is depicted in various jumping positions. If one takes the positions together, it is clear that the movement of a goat was to be displayed. The original post was I think from Irans’s Cultural Heritage news agency <\/a>. However their link to the animation is broken (at the moment their whole site unfortunately doesn’t work properly) but I found another link here.<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is “old” news.

\nThe researchers put the images in a timely order…so one can see the 5000 years old animation in modern fashion.<\/p>\n
