[@rocroc]

I'm a senior. I have heard and read and seen videos of ancient cave art for much of my life but never like this. The actual tools of the artist(s) laying right there next to their creations for at least 10,000 years! Not only depictions of animals painted on the ceiling and walls but the artists themselves and beautiful sculptures as well. Amazing. Whatever words I have would not do justice to this video that is itself a work of art. NORTH02 should have his own history channel. There are a couple of folks on KZbin that could join him and create a stellar learning experience.

[@ColdHawk]

Well said! My sentiments exactly.

[@LolaMontezxo]

They need to bring the history channel back and hire north to make the video

[@marymactavish]

This is his own (pre)history channel ;)

[@cattymajiv]

@@LolaMontezxo Yes, definately! All of you are right. There is some collaboration between some of the channels, but more would definately be better! The KZbin channel called SAMA or the "Study of Antiquity and the Middle Ages" is an effort at something like that. It still exists, and it was a great channel with the potential to become SO much more, but around 2 years ago the owner Nick died suddenly, at about 35 years old, leaving behind a young wife and newborn child. Nick's narrator has tried to keep the channel going, and he does a good job, but he does that on a partime basis, in addition to his day job and family, where for Nick it WAS his fulltime day job. It was intended to be his career and his future. He made many great videos, and was so full of ideas, plans, and enthusiasm, so his channel was growing faster than average, until an awful heart ailment hit him almost right out of the blue. Nick made so many videos that are still here on his channel, and his passion for history shows through in them. Many are on ancient and pre-history, which is partly why I think the name is a terrible one that doesn't describe the channel well. Partly to try to build a community of history loving KZbinrs, he did interviews with other historians, archeologists, podcasters and channel owners. His enthusiasm showed, and it was so infectious! The loss of Nick was a big blow to the fledgling history community here. He would have become a real force to be reckoned with, in a good way. As well, around 6 months before Nick died there was actually an official set of collaborations by quite a lot of the history KZbinrs, working together in various ways. I forget exactly who was involved, but there were many of them, so the set of videos was quite large. (But I don't have any idea how many.) Unfortunately it wasn't advertised very well, if at all. I believe the entire set was picked up by one of the commercial streaming services that focuses on history (for a monthly fee). It may have been History Hit, or something similar. Somehow the name Wendover Productions is on my mind as being related to this group of videographers, but I don't remember how it was connected. Those videos must still be on YT too, or at least a good sampling of them, but I think they're scattered over the channels of the people who made them, and they're not marked or indicated as such, which is a pity. Maybe someday they'll do it again, and hopefully advertise it more. I'd sure look forward to that!

[@catherineadams9683]

GREAT comment! I love all the work that he puts into his videos!! I pay attention!

[@jeanettewimpee6112]

Such a calm narrative voice, which gives such clear, detailed information. Some videos like this sound hurried, trying to pack so much information in a short time. Seldom giving us time to take it all in, even pausing to let us contemplate and wonder at it all. This is the enjoyable of all the historical, archeological presentations I've ever seen. Thank you so much. Oh, on a side note. When i was 15 years old, I found a booklet about cave art and was totally fascinated by the Altamira bulls, or bison. I did a pastel painting of the reclining bison. Which is hanging in my living room today, 60 years later. Slightly tattered, but still loved and still fascinating.

[@moseyburns1614]

The extremely abstract way they depicted humans compared to the naturalistic way they depicted animals is so fascinating to me, tells us something about their culture and their thinking maybe.

[@ColdHawk]

What is your speculation? Let me rephrase that; what are your speculations?

[@CoronaTwerking]

​@@ColdHawk not him but ive read theories about animal painting having shamanistic significance, something like chaining the animals soul to the painting in order to consecrate the hunt before it actually happens. That would explain why realistic human representation wouldve been taboo

[@nilcarborundum7001]

@moseyburns1614 I'm a professional visual artist but this has me stumped, too. Will let you know if anything occurs to me! All I know is, it is certainly deliberate and has a particular significance - it's not accidental and certainly not a "lack of ability". I just can't imagine what that significance is, though.

[@dccalling5960]

@@nilcarborundum7001 There are some cultures where an image of a person has power over either the viewer or the person depicted or both. Or there are practices and rituals where if a spirit sees you then you will be stolen by them. If the art was meant to illustrate stories or specific events, perhaps the difference in style between the animals and humans was to protect the souls/spirits of the humans in question, both the ones depicted and the viewers by denying the form identity.

[@nilcarborundum7001]

@@dccalling5960 That's a very good point! The other thing that occurred to me is that anthropologists (and artists) recognise symbolic, abstract representation as a more developed, more sophisticated procedure than mere representational "illustration". Taking that as read, I'm still mystified by the mixture of two such different approaches in a single collection of images.

[@Eugene-tm8fm]

It really is amazing that we have cave engravings of specific individuals from 15,000 years ago. Not merely generic human forms, but specific people with life stories, memories, families, wants, needs, desires, and other human things. The humanness of them in my opinion makes them possibly the most remarkable and fascinating art of the Magdalenian (although don’t get me wrong, all of their other art, especially their spearthrowers and cave art, is remarkable as well). This channel truly is a goldmine of information and knowledge

[@ColdHawk]

This is really impressive work. The content is extensive, well organized, and well delivered. I don’t think I have ever seen a presentation of Paleolithic art this comprehensive. You still have the sources pending, and since I’m not in the field I don’t have a clear conceptualization of how much work it was to gather and compile all the information and images, but this comes across as a truly monumental effort. I did not realize so much well-preserved, high quality, material had been recovered in Europe. Beyond that, the overall production is nicely polished. To me, it seems like you’ve been upping your game with each video and have now crossed some line and definitively gone pro. It’s great to see your progression as a documentary creator. I think you can feel really proud of your achievement here. Cheers!

Ever since I stumbeled upon pictures of it I am looking for more of these as they are so stunningly beautifull. But also they represent the full proof of how well trained these artists must have been. Ever since I studied at a school of art back in the 1980's it has amazed me how blunt this has been viewed by those art "proffesionals" of my days and long after that too. Despite artists like Pablo Picasso (one of their idols) were so positive about it!

You talk about them practicing before they painted on those cave walls, but the thing is that the outside world rocks and cliffs out in the open we're almost certainly covered in paintings as well. It's not that they only painted deep inside caves, and went back there to paint as a unique, special thing. It's that they painted all over, but in the subsequent tens of thousands of years the paintings were all destroyed, except the ones deep inside caves that nobody else could easily get to.

56:12 The deer’s own tail is cocked up and over its rump. The double “beak”, if you look at it, would be impossible to close if it were a bird. And it’s a strange place for a bird to be - not on the deer’s back but attached to its genital area. It is a the hoofs of a fawn being born.

[@eh1702]

56:17 is the plane that the deer is supposed to be viewed in. The mother half reclining, straining with her front feet braced, pushing out the fawn on the ground.

[@ColdHawk]

It’s funny but that makes sense to me in a weird way. The cycle of life is captured; from birth to death by a projectile from the weapon.
