Hello, all. :) Here is a post about pre-historic art all over the world. Enjoy!
The Serpent Mound is found in Ohio, USA and is a form of aesthetics (philosohy art/beauty). Dated back to 1070 CE.
Venus of Willendorf
Known as the fertility goddess, originated in Austria, dated back to 25,000 BC.
Smaller than it appears :) it is 11.1 cm!
Lascaux Caves, France
These are cave paintings in France dated back to 1500 BC. Each bull is about 16 feet long, and since there is no way they could have taken these bulls inside and painted them, that means it is all from memory! Crazy how realistic these are.
Stonehenge, England
This post and lintel construction is still a mystery to this day. Dated back to 2800-1500 BC. Nobody knows how they got here or how it was constructed. Possible explanations are aliens, druid ritual sites, a giant sundial, or magic conjured by Merlin.
Step Pyramid
Built in 6 stages for Djaser, dated back to 2650-2575 BC.
That's all for now, hope to have another post soon about this beautiful subject of art history.
What is the serpent mound used for? Be sure to preview your post before you publish it and make sure that the pictures are the right size. What was Willendorf used for? Correct spelling on Djoser. Great voice.
