How do we know the prehistoric art pieces we found were not just some back alley graffitis?

Every suggested meaning of prehistoric art is always either spiritual, proto-scientific, or socially meaningful.

How do we know they weren’t just some random graffitis from random people back then, similar to the tons of shitty wall-arts we see in our cities?

I guess we find them in isolated caves because that’s the only ones that were able to “survive” this long.

Graffiti has meaning behind it, whether religious or against a greater power. Its purpose is to send a message where many people can see it.
