Cavemen played Qix?
Deep in the heart of northern Syria, close to the banks of the Euphrates River, archaeologists have uncovered a series of startling 11,000-year-old wall paintings and artifacts.
...The etchings are "polychrome paintings in black, white and red. The designs are solely geometric, and only figurative. The composition is made up of a system cross-hatched lines, alternating between the three colors," Coqueugniot said.
They were found in a circular building, around 25 feet in diameter. The excavated house features three solid blocks where the paintings were located.
