The Prehistoric Age (jan 1, 270000 BC – jan 1, 1700)

Description:

known as the “Stone Age”, prehistoric cultural stage or level of human development, characterized by the creation and use of stone tools. In the prehistoric times, the use of fire, smoke and horns were effective ways for groups or individuals to communicate the need for assistance or to share information about important events. Smoke signals were especially useful as a tracking tool. In a time before maps existed, groups moving from one location to another could follow each other by following “directions” made from smoke. During the prehistoric age, they were used to carve or write on stones, walls in caves and even scrolls. Through this, their stories got told and informed to others, especially the mode of their communication.
