UM-Bot Posted March 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2022 New research has suggested that the process of creating cave paintings may have been a family affair. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/356280/many-prehistoric-cave-paintings-were-made-by-children 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan max2 Posted March 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2022 That's pretty cool. Parents always playing with little idiots kids throughout time lol Quote What's more, the process of blowing pigment down a tube to produce these paintings would not have been possible for such a young child to accomplish on their own, meaning that they would have likely received the assistance of a parent or older sibling 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_mc Posted March 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 18, 2022 20.000 years ago: Child holding its hand against a wall, blowing paint, thinking: "This was a fun game". We 20.000 years later, looking at the wall, thinking: "This is probably an advanced religious practise, the meaning of which we don't understand, but probably it has a deep meaning". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Coastal Algonquian petroglyphs portraying clan symbols are just graffiti. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHaYap Posted March 19, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Or maybe the cave was just the beginnings of the long tradition across all cultures of pre and post partum confinement / isolation till the little ones are old enough to be the extra eyes and ears for the community. That's quite possibly the natural origin of the ritual to "coming out into the world" before the present religion tinged "birthed" into the world. ~ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted March 19, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Clearly the cave was used as a pre school and was showed to their progenitors on parents evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
