I share my comment with your second reply our ancestors or the people who painted such stunning works of art with only had the surface of a cave wall to work, on while using the most rudimentary colours and tools, the images are “extremely” realistic, -speaking as a practicing artist myself. These people had a vast amount of time to execute their works of art and many look like “studies” or roughs of their subject matter.

My favorite story about these caves takes place in the one in Chuavet. Prints were discovered from about 20,000 years ago, of a young boy walking thru the cave, likely to admire some of the paintings that had already been there for thousands of years. At his side were the prints of a canine…it wasn’t stalking him or chasing him….,just walking at his side. A boy and his dog exploring.

@@forestdweller5581 it’s been a while but I seem to remember when the prints were found, it was determined they were made at the same time and that the animal was walking at the boys’s side, not chasing him or stalking him. For sure that long ago it would have been more of a wolf than the dog as we know it today - but from all I’ve read, no one knows for sure when or where domestication began. Studies of DNA still can’t pinpoint a time, or whether it started in Asia or Europe, possibly it could have been both. Lots of different theories.

Cave art is the only art form that really makes me feel emotional, more so than if I were to visit an art gallery. To think that there was family, feelings, thinking, meticulously planned day-to-day activities, and more for these people, all while living alongside terrifying beasts and giants just outside their home is truly the most fascinating thing to me.

Not to diminish our ancestors but there is at least one site where the art has been attributed to Neanderthals and also structures in Bruniquel Cave. I love that the impulse to create art goes so far back in the human journey. I think the cave paintings done by AMH are awesome. There is one cave painting of a female deer kneeling before a male. The latter is gently licking the female's brow. This is one of my favourite cave paintings. It shows that even back then, humans were able to depict tenderness.

Even animals make art. I used to live by a lake where a very large multigeneration family of beaver lived, and my son and I used to find these little four inch long pieces that were perfectly gnawed into little sphears on each end, and gnawed in the middle. Like a little wooden dumbell. We found a lot of them, and they didn't serve any purpose. They were just there by the edges of the lodges, and there were three lodges. They just made them because it was fun and they look cool. Birds make art. Dolphins make art with air bubbles they push together into a pattern. I thinks it's exactly like you say, art makes everybody think.

Its not really a good parallel. Native americans were far more advance than stone age cavemen. The aztecs and mayas were as or more advance as the ancient Egyptians. Other tribes in north america had massive trading and agicultural networks. Like the mound builders. Iirc, there were even tribes in the Pacific northwest who were experimenting with iron forgeing from scrap metal from asia shipwrecks centuries before Europeans contact. For most part, native americans were in between the copper and bronze age when europeans showed up.

@ladoga 2 жыл бұрын

@@SuperPickle15 I get what you mean , but it is also about how do you define advanced. We tend to have very narrow and biased view on progress. Those cave dwellers were surely much more advanced in their survival skills and knowledge about the nature (animal behaviour, seasons etc.) than most of us are. If we were dropped into their situation we would probably just starve or die to the exposure. Could you light a fire reliably with only stuff you can find from the nature? Would you know where to find food and when? I would just say our that knowledge is different. In certain areas we are more advanced, but in others we are less. We are more specialised. We ought not forget that they could survive in their environment for tens of thousands of years without completely destroying it. Let's see if we are advanced enough to do the same. For us it is a global problem while for them it was local, but we too are dependent on managing our ecosystem wisely or we end up destroying ourselves with it. It surely doesn't look good for us.

One night a long time ago i was sitting on my porch in the middle of the night and a deer walked out of the brush a few feet in front of me. It slowly walked and just at that moment the moon emerged out from behind the clouds and the deer stopped and looked directly up at the moon for about 15 seconds and then just continued walking. You could see the same curiosity and wonder in the deers eyes that a human would feel. It was such a brief moment but one that I'll remember all my life.

The art is amazing, and I agree with Pablo's assessment that we haven't learned anything (in Art) since then. Clearly, we've been complex abstract thinkers for some time. But here's the thing. Yes, the art is extraordinarily, but think about it. Some of the pigments used in some of the caves didn't come from readily available sources either in or near the location where the art was made. Some of it was remotely sourced from locations many, many miles, sometimes hundreds, of miles, away. So, while the art itself is revealing in its humanity what I find interesting is what those paints and pigments represent in terms of the social and cultural development of the time. Indeed, in some cases from the level of artistry it must be presumed that it was done by someone well versed, and that implies focused training over an extended period of time. Somebody didn't just wake up one morning, decide to go into a cave and throw some paint on a wall. What this betrays is that the individual must have been part of a complex social group and culture, one which supported him/her as he/she learned their art. Ultimately what this all says to me is that the minds who left all that we see were not simpleton cave men, nor was their culture or society. The art screams it, as does the paints and pigments used. In some ways this art might represent the apex of their times, much as the Sistine Chapel (for example) does ours today... Just some thoughts. John~ American Net'Zen

Many years ago a Native American elder was telling me how silly it was for white people to hang "dream catchers". She said they were only ever hung in baby "cradles" and said it would be like her hanging a baby rattle on her wall. I think the point was people were attributing too much "mystical" value to things. It's a known common practice with bygone cultures - like the Picts who were mythoologicalised as the Pixies

A facinating post thank you. I amazed and in awe of cave artists. I'm widely considered one of the foremost artists in my field today (with two websites) and yet when I see the achievements of 'cave artists' I am humbled by their skill knowing I could not do under their conditions what they did. I sincerely salute their achievements.

@@jarrah580 try searching for my 2 websites. I am considered one of if not the best living marine artist athough I have painted many other subjects including landscapes, aviation and portraits. Famous paintings include "Roaring Forties", "Trafalgar Dawn" "The Port of Gaillac 1863" and "I Have Urgent Dispatches". They have been widely reproduced in press stories, books and occasinally in TV programmes. enjoy.

To me "primitive" does not mean crude, it means first.. So "primitive man" to me just means "first man", just like "primitive tools" means "first tools". Our ancestors were not crude brutal people, they were the first you and I, the only difference between us and them, is time, culture and technology.

Excellent video! I could spend a long time looking at cave art 'murals', as they are both fantastic artwork and a tantalizing glimpse of the past. Something hit me during the first few images you showed - they are so well preserved because caves are protected from the elements. It's why they're also a good source for fossil remains. But the art we see on the wall is not likely to be the first and only place the individual artists practiced. I found myself thinking about a landscape where humanity had decorated a lot more surfaces than were preserved until modern times: more paintings on prominent boulders and cliffsides, painting or carving on dead trees or erected posts. That kind of thing would be very unlikely to remain while exposed to weathering, but why not? Why assume all of their art was hidden away in dark caves? Fascinating to wonder about...

Well done film. Probably the best I have seen on the subject. The diversity of creations around the world was wonderful. Most coverage of this subject is very Eurocentric. I also liked that you did not push an agenda. We don't really know why this work was created, although often religious or political explanations are given. But i have always felt that these works were created, at its source, for the very reasons art is produced today. It is a human thing, the urge to create, to give expression to what goes on in the mind. Sometimes, at least, art is just made because its creator just wanted to make some art. Thanks for the video. I'll be looking at the rest of your work.

Thanks for watching, I do still feel it was a bit Eurocentric. I wish I had covered more art around the world. I just released my best video yet it you want to check it out.
