5,000-year-old rock art depicting the oldest nativity scene ever found has been found in Egypt’s Sahara Desert: A newborn between parents, two animals, and a star in the east.

Reminiscent of the Bible’s account of Jesus’s birth, the prehistoric painting predates the biblical account by around 3,000 years.

    It does seem a bit of a stretch. I don’t think we can assign such context from that picture. Maybe the artist accidentally dropped a bit of blood on the picture and lo, it’s a star!
