Cave Art and Rock Painting by Neanderthals

From before written history humans have expressed their experiences, sightings and passions with beautiful illustrations in the form of art. Prehistoric art! Art has been around since they, we ... gained technology to create cave art , rock paitning, sculptures, and other forms. I hope that you enjoy the Neanderthal Art! I am an artist and have an appreciation for the cave-man arts, so without any further ado, let me show you the Neanderthal Art on Squid 50.

Welcome, to Squid 50! 

My 50th Squidoo Lens

Prehistory is Anonymous! 

A Caveman is a popular stock character based upon stereotyped concepts of the way in which early prehistoric humans or humininans may have looked and behaved. The term caveman is something used colloquially to refer to Neanderthals or Cro-Mognon (Homo sapiens of the Paleolithic era). The term has been discouraged in serious use, because of its inaccuracy and dependence on certain misconceptions about early humans.

Prehistoric is a term use to describe periods before written time. The term was introduced into English by Daniel Wilson in 1851. Prehistory can be said to date back to the beginning of the universe itself; although the term is used mostly to describe periods when there was life on earth.

It is my hope that I can bring tribute to the neanderthals on Squid 50.

Taino Petroglyphs in a Cave in Puerto Rico 

Of Archaeological and Social Importance

Discoveries dating back 40,000 years have been found in caves of the existence of humans habitation. Items of value were placed in a cave to be protected them from the climatic elements and predators, making some caves virtual treasure mines.

To me, this rock painting is a representation of someone who was thought highly of. Maybe it was someone who had even died and the artist wanted to remind them self of a dearly departed one.

Stone Age Art! 

The Stone Age figurine was unearthed at Zaraysk, Russia. It looks like a pregnant woman, the back view strongly suggests female hips. Of course it could be a paunchy man.

There were two figurines found. They were both carefully buried. Each of the figurines was covered with the shoulder bone of a mammoth. If the first thing a Stone Age Man does with gained technology is carve a woman, he might be more like us then we think.

Altamira Cave - Preseved - Guided Tours Only 

The rock paintings inside of Altamira Cave are very well done. The neanderthal artist who lived there found great pleasure in creating works of art that are painted on the ceiling of the cave and walls. He must have had a fondness for this per-historic bull looking creature, because he illustrated them many times. Whatever his reason was ... I'm glad he left his impressions.

A Panel Of Art On The Side Of A Bluff! 

Very Nice Raock Painting

This rock art is high on a bluff overlooking the Pecos River in Texas. It is said to depict the hunt for sacred peyote, a powerful medicinal and sacramental plant. It is a ritual re-enactment of the first pilgrimage that led to the birth of gods, the establishment of the seasons and the creation of the cosmos. - It is a very lovely expression of art that needs to be preserved!

The Neanderthal Humans Were Pretty Smart 

Cave Painting! A Very Decorative Piece of Art! 

Art Painting From The Ice Age

In Australia's Kimberly region this beautifully done cave painting dated from the last Ice Age about 20,000 to 25,000 years ago decorates a cave's wall with flying fox bats. This species is believe to now be extinct. The photo was taken by Dr. Jack Pettigrew and his team.

Rock Art by Carving and Painting 

Someone Had Something To Express...

This is interesting! I would like to point out the human like forms with the heads of animals and legs with hoofs. My interruption on Squid 50. - It is a ceremonial celebration illustration of a hunt for food, where they killed a per-historic creature to survive.

A News Paper Rock Petroglyph! 

This pictured Newspaper Rock art is near Canyonlands National Park, south of the Moab, in south eastern Utah.

Petroglyph is an image carved into the surface of a rock, an engraving that is done by pecking or abrading. Petroglyphs are found world wide and are often associated with prehistoric people, but not always.

Pictograph is an image painted or drawn on a rocks surface.

Petroforms are shapes and patterns made by many large rocks and boulders placed over the ground, they are quiet different also.

Petroglyphs, pictographs, and petroforms are all art.

Neanderthals are either classified as a subspecies of humans (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) or as a separate species (Homo neanderthalensis). The first proto-Neanderthal traits appeared in Europe as early as 600,000?350,000 years ago. Proto-Neanderthal traits are occasionally grouped to another phenetic 'species', Homo heidelbergensis, or a migrant form, Homo rhodesiensis. By 130,000 years ago, complete Neanderthal characteristics had appeared. These characteristics then disappeared in Asia by 50,000 years ago and in Europe by 30,000 years ago.

Looking out of the mouth of a cave... 

Caves are where neanderthals would dwell.

Neanderthals certainly were the first people on this earth to go caving and exploring under the earths surface. Caves must have held much more meaning to them then, as they provided shelter and a place to live and raise their young. Squid 50 does not have a lot of cave images. I would refer you to my Caving lens for an adventure...

    We caught part of a PBS program on the Neanderthals and learned that they were able to survive for about 400,000 years through multiple ice ages. Their resilience was attributed in part to their short stature and stocky build, which was apparently advantageous in those days.

    PBS has some very good stories to see, I wish I had seem that one. Maybe I can find it on the internet to see it. ~ Its amazing how they survived the aliments as long as they did. They had to have been able to start fires to keep warm. ~ Thanks for sharing!

    That's a good question Shelly. From studying the art of the neanderthals and knowing the history of theses people a bit, I would have to conclude that they were musical in their own ways and forms of instruments. Peyote was scared to them in ceremonies and celebrations, and I can only imagine the joyful noise they made when they killed a dinosaur to eat. I will study more to see what I get ding up on that, there just is so little known about them.
