[spoiler]Cave certainly is that old but it's only really Caroline's age that is in question here. The first we hear from Caroline is in the intro to the 1950ies series of tests. If we assume she's a fresh 18-20 year old at that time she'd still be under 40 by 1970 and therefore perfectly capable of carrying a child.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Regardless of all this, what else is the figure in the painting supposed to be? It was obviously purposefully hidden, so the reveal should mean something. I can't think of an alternative explanation.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Doug Rattmann?[/spoiler]

The videos themselves were deleted. I still have one of them downloaded. That thing said was still in commentaries, so no way of recovering these.

I guess that's the only character left to guess at. Doesn't make any sense though :shrug:
[spoiler]Just because something is cleverly hidden doesn't mean it's intended. A particular friend I won't bother naming pointed me out that all similarities between my work and Portal 2 were a "NORMAL" coincidence.[/spoiler]

There's some videos on youtube with that title. Definitely not canon though.
There's some other series, but I wasn't able to recover THAT SERIES, SPECIFICALLY.

Uh come again? You don't think that [spoiler]an extra character in a portrait, invisible to the naked eye and only visible by lifting the levels of the image, is an intended thing[/spoiler]?

my stories about <<Spectator Name Here>> as a third foil between Chell and GLaDOS[/url] and Valve's stories about Wheatley as one are a "NORMAL" coincidence, then yeah, I don't.[/spoiler]

OK, 1) wtf are you smoking and 2) can I have some? 
Just because you thought it'd be a fun thought experiment to talk about a "portal movie" that's set in the 4th millennium and then [spoiler]Portal 2 goes ahead and happens in like the 50th millenium[/spoiler] you see a not-normal coincidence? Wtf?
In any case we're getting way off-topic here...
It isn't just that.
And since you all are morons from my perspective you will never get it.

I read on the steam forums that the figure - and indeed a good amount of the story - is based on a greek myth.

1. If you find the turret that says 'I am different', you know the one you get an achievement for if you save it, if you hold onto it tells you stuff. First it tells you to remember Caroline, then it tells you about the story of Prometheus. This indicates that GLaDOS has some sort of relation to Prometheus.
2. When you find GLaDOS again as a potato she is being pecked at by a bird, just like Prometheus. The imagery is obvious to anyone.
3. One of the co-op partners names is Atlas, Atlas of course was brother to Prometheus.
In addition, this image was posted there (too big for forum apparently).

Hear the turret, for it is knell. It summons thee to heaven, or to hell.
