@kjgear In our history we tend to consider religious object any object we don't understand. I remember a story read some time ago, with somebody from future who discover archaeological proof of our culture. And, because we use so many things that will be destroyed in time, he concluded that we were a primitive civilisation who worship a water deity, because in every house it was a shrine of it: the bathroom... We simple don't know if they were mystics or not.
@kjgear hi im doing a research report on the Lascaux history. and would like to site this source in my bibliography. can you tell me the director of this short film? Thanks
They probably did not have religion in the modern sense. But I reckon they had a strong sense of spriritualism. Life would have been a greater mystery to them than it is to us now. But yeah the narator got on my nerves a bit!
They had as much brains as we do, kind of make me think, why have we not "evolved"? I can think of places were we could all use improvement, beside micro evolution like sickle cell anemia.
@mommameatball1 Hi, can you be so kind as to tell me if you ever got a response from the user since I too am doing an essay on the rhino and the man painting and would like to know the director and narrator. This would help me a great deal since this is due on Thursday an its Tuesday >( If you can, please let me know as soon as you can, thankyou so much.
A desire to feel connected to the other animals isn't necessarily evidence of religiosity. In fact, looking at religion from our modern perspective, one could make the point that religion tends to alienate us from the natural world. The painters of these caves apparently took the time to study and marvel over the natural world around them. I am not religious but I still sometimes wish I was a bird.
He says they "evolved"? Human skulls from that time have as much volume as ours do so they were as "evolved" 40,000 years ago as we are today. If they mean the artistic style was particular to the tribe they should say that. Would we say Leo Da Vinci work "evolved" differently then Michelangelo's work? Every artist has there style, these people had culture and we see that.
The commentator was only speculating on the meaning and purpose of the paintings based on archaeological evidence and what we have gleaned from the descendants of Paleolithic societies, such as Bushmen and natives of the Americas. What makes you believe they were not mystical people? What about the half human/bird and half human/lion paintings? And the ritual burial of humans (which is much older than Lascaux) is a form of religion, no?
I think they makes some grand assumptions with the singing and all that but really you wouldn't know if those things were a part of a tail or worshiped or if it was just what the artist wanted to draw, unless you were there.
i'm no scientist by any means but i believe these people most certainly were religious. back then everyone was looking for a answer to who created them, how they came to be, explanations for why things have happened. they didn't have scientists studying bone fragments or rock sediment. they had gods, like native americans. in today's society it's way too easy to not believe in a higher power, a "creator". i firmly believe that these people were religious.
They have all over thought these paintings. They are not paintings at all. The answer has been under our noses the whole time. The answer to everyones question is written everywhere. Just ask me, I can prove what I say.

Thanks for sharing this!
This reminds me of Jean M Auel's novel "The Shelters in Stone" I think she did, in fact, research this particular area when she wrote that book

The inspiration from "As Above, So Below"?

Just a thought:why not bring some people from bushman tribe and ask them what some Paleolithic art mean

There were a lot of horse paintings. The horse has always been sacred to Europeans/Aryans
