dec 30, 14000 BC - Monumental cave paintings and engravings.
Description:
The images are predominately depictions of animals, human handprints, and geometric patterns. The most common animals in cave art are the more intimidating ones, like cave lions, woolly rhinoceroses, and mammoths. These paintings could be creative recordings of nature, factual recordings of events, or part of some spiritual ritual, but scholars generally agree there is a symbolic and/or religious function to cave art.Added to timeline:
