  1. The cups markings are 40000 years old. An ibex carving dates to 4000years ago. I guess the horseman motif also dates around 4000 years ago if not earlier. Unfortunately there's no mention of its age. http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/middle_east/iran_rock_art/index.php

  6. If you honestly believe the horseman figure is 40000 years old you are insane.
