Hi kjgear, as a non-religious person I found the commentator a little annoying in the fact that he kept on bringing up just how religious these ancient people were. We know very little about them other than the obvious fact that they painted beautiful images of reality and their day to day existence.

They were not mystical people at all and theres nothing in these images to say that they were . . . as opposed to us modern humans.

Amazing images though!

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?

amazing pre-historic art - makes you feel truly connected to our ancestors

@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.

Many paintings were renderings of Shamanistic visions, which all humans seem to share whilst under altered conscienceness

@NessaSilverwolf why think unlike all other people in history they werent superstitious? its statistically unlikely.

youre creating bs mythology....evolution replaced religious creation stories...all cultures have creation stories... so yes they were clearly religious in that sense...

[Interactivesystems]

@misterusufruct religiosity is hardwired, it was probably selected for. your mythlogising these people. besides all the evidence... why youd think unlike all other people in history they werent superstitious? its statistically unlikely.

Hi there! Amazing video thanks a lot for sharing it!!!:)...i've been reading the comments left by some people...expressing opinions is great but being a hateful person is disgusting! instead of to waste your time swearing the others try to be better yourself & learn something useful!
