I found a macehead I think it is in my local river in Scotland. Pity I can't post a picture of it here because it is very esthetically pleasing to the eye. A work of art for sure.
GREAT presentation... There is one thought you spoke that I can not wrap my mind around . I say thought as it is what has been taught , someones thought on the subject. Paleolithic people were not just Wander , Hunter , Gathers , Nomads. I live and learn on a community/ tribe home site of paleolithic people that was generations upon generations upon (ect.) of people. I do believe small groups would go out from time to time to follow migrating herds . But in reality lets look at animals that would be harvested because not all animals are migrating animals . We have animals like deer , squirrel, rabbit , grouse , turkey , fish ( non migrating ) . Along with other types of food they knew about . ( Nuts , fruits , grasses and weeds ect.) Im speaking of North America . Which people were here long before weve been taught. If you'd like to see some artifacts , tools / effigies of North America Paleolithic come join me on my channel. Thank you for this video...
It's possible, and there are some historians who believe that these sculptures could be toys. In these broad surveys, we often have to over-generalize everything. Trying to encompass the entirety of a 40,000 year long period is like fixing a tooth cavity with a jackhammer. It is not a precise process.
love the video. I am fascinated by the Venus figures. I am aware of the relatively recent interpretation that posits women as the creators of these. I think that is rather unlikely. I have also heard that they were simply porn. The erotic nature of the figures is offered as "evidence" for that. I would be surprised if the men (assuming male artists) didn't enjoy the figures for their eroticism but that by no means precludes another purpose. They might have been images of what a young bachelor wanted to possess, and by creating an image of same might affect his destiny in the same way the images of the animals influenced the hunt.
thank u so much
Can't wait to get back to the Pyrenees and Massif in France and Spain. I will visit these sites and associated museums.

Art through the ages
What about an interpretation that at least some images or sculptures were made for fun?
