caveart at lascaux
The caveart at Lascaux reveals the magdelanians beliefs on purpose of life and religion, their values, how they existed, and what they had known about the universe.
Lascaux’s caveart emphasizes the theory of natural selection, polytheism, and art playing a major part in religion.The magdelanians emphasized the theory of natural selection by painting the cross bison fighting. This shows that natural selection was highly important to them whether it was about reproducing or hunting and gathering food. Many archaeologists believe that these people practiced polytheism in a way that their universe: or the stars, moons, and planets were their gods and goddesses. The caveart also depicted a religious ritual or ceremony. The brown bear was only depicted once in the caves, the brown bear commands respect, shows gentleness, and ferocity. The brown bear could have been one of their shaman representations. here were hundreds of animals depicted in these caves. It may have been for religious reasons or simply just because they were valued. The magdelanians valued many things including, animals, fertility, and even death its self. The paintings found of aurochs, deer, and bison. One of the major paintings were of an auroch. Aurochs 18 is the largest figure in prehistoric art that has been discovered so far. This figure was almost like a shaman to these people, the way this picture was painted on a larger scale than anything else shows that this is what they had valued the most.Everyday animals were not depicted because they had no special meaning attached to them. Fertility was depicted by many venus figures. They way these figures focus on the female and male reproductive system and the depth and perspective that these figures have been given exemplifies that the magdelanians were in fact very worried about fertility because they didn’t want their “tribe” to become extinct.The lascaux cave also suggests that these people valued death.There were many excavations in which
