"Unveiling the Mysteries of Prehistoric Men: A Glimpse into Ancient Times" Step back in time and explore the fascinating world through captivating engravings, mesmerizing murals, and awe-inspiring rock art. In 1872, an engraving depicted the majestic ichthyosaur and plesiosaur, showcasing the incredible creatures that once roamed our planet. Mesolithic art took a stylized-naturalistic form, as seen in mural paintings capturing the phallic dance. These artistic expressions provide glimpses into their culture and rituals. Engravings from 1881 transport us to prehistory, where cavemen discovered fire - a pivotal moment that revolutionized their lives forever. Another engraving portrays a funeral banquet, shedding light on their beliefs surrounding death and afterlife. Delving deeper into their habitat, we witness how these early humans lived through another engraving depicting their human dwellings. Traveling to Spain's Bicorp region brings us face-to-face with mesmerizing Mesolithic Rock Art dating back to 8000-7000 BC. The intricate depictions of deer and goats showcase their deep connection with nature. Venturing further into caves within Salmon-Challis National Forest reveals stunning cave paintings that have stood the test of time. These ancient artworks offer insights into hunting practices and daily life during prehistoric times. From Lake Constance in Germany emerges evidence of pile dwellings - structures built above water for protection against predators or rival tribes. These remnants speak volumes about ingenious engineering techniques employed by our ancestors. Rock paintings depict scenes like a wounded man; they serve as visual records documenting significant events or perhaps even acts of storytelling passed down through generations. One lithograph showcases Palaeolithic mammoth-hunters skillfully engineering their kill – highlighting both survival skills and reverence for these magnificent creatures. Finally, Dolmen des Fades stands tall in Pepieux, Aude, Minervois, Occitanie.
