Question

Why drawings were drawn in the rocks

Answer 1

Answer:

In prehistoric times these were often popular places for various human purposes, providing some shelter from the weather, as well as light. There may have been many more paintings in more exposed sites, that are now lost. Pictographs are paintings or drawings that have been placed onto the rock face.

Answer 2

The paintings on the rocks are:

• The paintings are painted with red and yellow ocher, hematite, manganese oxide and charcoal.
• Sometimes the silhouette of an animal was cut into the rock first.
• The stone lamps gave some light.
• Abbe Breuil interpreted the paintings as a hunting magic, aimed at increasing the number of animals.
• Since there are clay statues that appear to have been spears, this may be partially true, but it does not refer to carnivorous animals like lions or bears.
• The description of the bear is presented in a funny way.
• The bear approached the man and hugged him tightly.
