Ancient Great Works of Art

[CaptainPatch]

Yet another stray thought:

How about adding an ancient ruin outcome of finding a Prehistoric cave painting which gets used as a Great Work of Art (Ancient) [because in the vanilla game, there is no Prehistoric Era]? It would look kind neat hanging on the wall in the Palace, wouldn't it?

Most Prehistoric sites were found much later in time.

Well, I doubt you really want to start generating Tourism that early...

I wouldn't say that they weren't found until much later; the (several hundreds of) sites were always there. But it wasn't until Archaeology starts that they wwere finally scrutinized and studied. But from the get-go, there's that empty Great Work slot in the Palace, just waiting for something to put in it. Why not something that was pointedly in existence since well before 3000 B.C.?

I think archeological artifacts are kind the "ancient works of art" of this game. But I'd like to see some more artistic artifacts like statues and mosaics and such.
