Sickness and pestilence have been framed by physical manifestations since the beginning of mankind. We’ve seen examples of illness being represented as a living thing as early as 15000 B.C. in paintings from the Lascaux cave.1 People have always feared disease and how you can’t see it. Because of this, humans began to represent it in a physical way as if giving it shape would make it easier to resist. Symbolism like this also made disease easier to comprehend. One of the earliest vampire movies,

Unlike tribes with “highly egalitarian societies,” the Chumash and Aborigines had complicated social structures (20, 22). Reviewing differences in expression, we compare France’s Lascaux cave paintings to sculptures of “gods, goddesses, or ordinary people” by the Nigerian Nok and Ain Ghazal people (51, 33, and 38). For survival, migratory societies adapted to their environments, so while the Plainsmen of North America hunted bison

Hello to everyone reading my diary, I’m Alain ! It is nice to meet you, and oh boy do I have a lot to share with you guys! I have seen it all, from the amazing art done by my fellow Lascaux peoples, to the art that one of my so called “friends”, Leonard da Vinci created during the 15th century, all the way to the impressionism paintings done by artists that I came across! What a great journey it has been. Let’s get started by introducing one of my dearest friends, Achal Brice. He didn’t make his

environments they had to live through by creating weapons, tools and communities. Hunting was important to the early man. This was how they would find food and the necessities that they needed from animals. In document #1, the cave painting found in Lascaux, France, shows a herd of deer attacking a group of people that have bows and arrows. The painting shows the human figures using the bows and arrows to attack and kill the deer. This evidence may suggest that this group of people are nomadic; meaning

Religious stories and scientific theories have tried for thousands of years to accurately date the formation of man. However, in the 1860s, a new art was discovered that changed the view of human creation forever. This new insight was cave painting. Cave painting is a form of prehistoric art that dates back hundreds of thousands of years. Analysts are unable to specify the reasoning behind these paintings of objects on cave walls, but many theories have been formulated to surmise the rational

There seems to be a lot of conflicting information as to where exactly Druidism originates and what sort of practices they experienced. Most of what was learned of Druidism was communicated orally, which is a major reason I believe as to why there is so many missing elements or inconsistent information. Across the board people mainly agree that it began in Europe. From some writings of Julius Caesar, people had believed it began in Britain. Druidism is a religion that is practiced by the Celts or

a) An asterism is a constellation that is not regarded as an official constellation by the international scientific community. An example of an asterism, is the Big Dipper that is located within the Ursa Major constellation.

This can make it difficult to view the entire constellation with the naked eye, and we may instead only view the brightest stars, as

These pigments were ground down to a fine powder. Binders such as water, spit or animal fat were added to this powder. If darker pigments were desired the powder was heated before binders were added. Historians who have studied the paintings at Lascaux “hypothesize that paint was applied with brushing,

Time has always been a factor to the evolution of life with this aspect of putting into the view of humanity and the progression that manifest through art, culture and views on the world. This is focusing on humanity and how it changed throughout time in classical Greek, Roman and Byzantine time periods that will be looked over in-depth. But before we can address the humanism that will transpire, one must go back to the past that lead to the very concept that was born, with the Prehistoric period
