Macrophotography of Massive Cave Art

Ancient Civilizations, history of the beginning of time, the relics of discovery that breath life into what we were and where we were going.

In a recent music class, my professor gave the class a glimpse in the first sandskrit, found over 6000 years ago. I sat puzzled, thinking that this piece of history couldn't possibly been the first evidence of a written language. In fact, many depictions of language was presented on the walls of caves over 16,000 years ago.

So I ask you. Why do many people try to accept writting on sanskrit, dated 6000 years ago referring to biblical verses, rather that the cave art that has been dated back several more thousands of years?

So what do you believe? Here are two prime examples of Paleolithic Art that occured several thousands of years before creation.

The Muknal cave, otherwise known as the "Cave of the Stone Sepulcher" in Cayo, Belize, is a Mayan archeological site that holds such artifacts as stoneware to skeletons. The most famous of the human remains is known as the "The Crystal Maiden", a sacrifice victim, whose bones were naturally uncovered by the cave, revealing the crystal like sparkles that reflect when hit by light.

In Southwestern France, there lies a cave system that depicts some of the earliest Paleolithic Cave art, dating back about 17,000 years. Interestly enough, the cave was discovered in the Fran c. Dordogne River Valley in 1940 by teenagers.  However, due to the high levels of CO2 deteriorating the paintings caused by foot traffic, the cave was closed for visitors.

The Lascoux Cave has over 2000 figures depicted on the walls, 900 of those being various breeds of animals. The most famous section of the animal paintings is the "Great Hall of Bulls", where stags, equines, and bulls are depicted. One of the bulls is over 17 feet long, making it the largest cave art representation of an animal.

I remain convinced that cave drawings are the true depiction of the original language. In those times, drawings were used for cultural languages, so regardless of the nature of the writings on the sandskrit I spoke about earlier, I like to think that these are the original forms of communication.
