What do you think of when you hear the words "cave paintings"? I know that I automatically think of fascinating artwork inside of caves. Cave paintings go way back to 40000 BC and were located in Africa, Australia, Europe, India, North America, South America, and Southeast Asia. Who would've thought that there would be that many different locations. It is known that there are over 350 caves filled with these amazing paintings. I think cave paintings went obsolete because nobody lives in caves anymore and people go around doing graffiti and many greasy substances have got on the caves to ruin all the paintings. There's so much to learn about cave paintings.
Most of all, it was one of the first ways in which information was stored! OHHHH how far we've come!
ReplyDeleteI believe cave paintings were also the first form of communication (speaking) that was not body language, and have heard that the paintings's subjects were what prompted language. Neat, huh?
