30 Eye Popping, Mind Boggling, Spine Tingling Discoveries From The Lands Time Forgot
Prehistoric period of human history distinguished by the development of the most primitive stone tools discovered, and covers roughly 99% of human technological prehistory. Neolithic period marks with the rise of farming, which produced the “Neolithic Revolution”, and ending when metal tools becoming widespread in the Copper Age (chalcolithic) or Bronze Age developing directly into the Iron. These discoveries are all paleolithic and come prior to the rise of farming.
First known “art” object: water worn pebble resembling a human face, from Makapansgat, South Africa, ca. 3,000,000 BCE. Reddish brown jasperite, approx. 2 3/8″ wide.
Acheulian Goddess – The Great Mother, most ancient goddess, shaped from rock by our ancestors 1/4 million to 3/4 million years ago
The Venus of Tan-Tan was found during an excavation on the north bank of the River Draa by Lutz Fiedler, state archeologist of Hessen, Germany. It was sandwiched between two undisturbed layers: a lower layer comprising sediments, fossils and artifacts from the Early Acheulian period (at least 500,000 BCE), and an upper one dating from the Middle Acheulian (approx 200,000 BCE)
The early Stone Age figurine of Tan-Tan, discovered by the River Draa near the Moroccan town of Tan-Tan, is considered to be one of the oldest items of prehistoric sculpture known to archeology. Its discovery, some 18 years after that of another figurine of similar antiquity and morphology on the Golan Heights (the Venus of Berekhat Ram) is supportive of the idea that both objects are genuine works of art from the pre-Homo sapiens era, particularly in view of microscopic research by Alexander Marshack confirming that the Golan venus was incised by human hand, rather than nature.
Abalone Shell Credit: Science/AAAS Archaeologists in South Africa uncovered two 100,000-year-old abalone shells and assorted bones and stones that served a toolkits to make some sort of ochre-based compound. The mixture may have been used as a paint or adhesive. It’s the oldest evidence of humans making a complex compound, and even the oldest evidence of humans using containers.

“A coating of bright red powder on the insides of a pair of 100,000-year-old abalone shells is evidence of the oldest known art workshop, a new study says. The powder was found inside two shells in Blombos Cave near Still Bay, South Africa (map). The substance is the dried remains of a primitive form of paint made by combining colorful clay called ochre, crushed seal bones, charcoal, quartzite chips, and a liquid, such as water. “

“The oldest known bedding – sleeping mats made of mosquito-repellant evergreens that are about 77,000 years old – has been discovered in a South African cave. This use of medicinal plants, along with other artifacts at the cave, helps reveal how creative these early peoples were, researchers said”

These paintings of seals were discovered in the Nerja Caves near Malaga, Spain. They are at least 42,000 years old and are the only known artistic images created by Neanderthal man

Paleolithic Symbols: A ground-breaking study by Genevieve von Petzinger shows that dots, lines and other geometric signs found in prehistoric European caves may be the precursor to an ancient system of written communication dating back nearly 30,000 years. Von Petzinger and anthropology professor April Nowell compiled the markings from 146 different sites in Ice Age France, making it possible to compare the signs on a larger scale than had ever previously been attempted.

Lion Man dated 32,000 BC. Upper paleolithic. Lionheaded Figurine discovered in a cave in Germany. From circa 30,000 BC.
Paleolithic Art, Roucadour cave Themines, Quercy, Lot, France. Attributed to the oldest phase of Paleolithic Art in Quercy, c. 28,000-24,000 years BP. All known prehistoric sites that have been discovered, have trails that lead to near and distant hematite deposits. Historians have deduced that the impetus behind all mining activities was a need for ochre pigments. Cave dwellers might have traveled as far as 25 miles to obtain iron earth pigments for their paint in the Lascaux area. The first paintings were cave paintings. Ancient peoples decorated walls of protected caves with paint made from dirt or charcoal mixed with spit or animal fat.
Articulated figure, also made of mammoth ivory; around 26,000 years old. Found near Brno in the Czech Republic, was buried beside the body of a man in his 40s. “The ivory figurine has a strange spectral face,” says Jill Cook, of British Museum, “while at the bottom of head, there is a little hollow that would have allowed head to rotate. Similarly, its arms could have come up & down. The legs – which are missing – probably did the same. As to its purpose? This was a puppet, the world’s oldest.”

Venus of brown ivory (ca. 27,000/20,000 BCE) found in the caves of Balzi Rossi, on the border between Liguria and France. It’s a nearly complete female figurine made from partially fossilized ivory and measures about 7 cm (2.63 inches) high.
The date and origin of the first device of disputed status as a musical instrument dates back as far as 67,000 years old. In July 1995, Slovenian archaeologist Ivan Turk discovered a bone carving in the northwest region of Slovenia. The carving, named the Divje Babe flute, features four holes that could have been used to play four notes of a diatonic scale. Researchers estimate the flute’s age to be 67,000 years old, making it the oldest known musical instrument in Neanderthal culture

Amazing thank you!
Did the ancients like fat women?
Yes, and it wasnt until the last 60 years or so that we switched to the skinny waif look. Heck, look at Marilyn Monroe…she was a very voluptuous girl.
Big, voluptuous women were considered fertile and highly desirable. Procreation in the old days was like graduating college is in these days. Having children and perpetuating the numbers of your family was the priority. Being fat in general was considered a sign of wealth and prominence.
Only in selected cultures and environments, very few fat ice dwelling humans, or marsh dwelling, for example. The environment dictates body shape. A large form is generally associated with communal living, with others doing the work for a few, a woman of that size, unless civilised or wealthy, would not survive the hardships of those times, if we believe conventional history. This opens another debate however, that if this theory is true, then there was advanced, organised cities or groups of humans, way before the 12000 years the mainstream are hooked upon. That had enough prosperity and advanced methods of living, to recreate the same level of physical fitness and form we see today… perhaps.
Yes amazing ! Thanks.
The co-incidence or maybe not, of the female statues all displaying the same physical characteristics, the very full hips, and a pear shaped figure, make this more interesting to me.
The story of an original Mother responsible for the start of the Homo Sapien race, keeps cropping up all over the globe in ancient texts and artifacts, from places thousands of miles apart and now also seperated by oceans.
Either all women throughout history had that particular, very recognisible form, or there’s a history, that all of these people seem to share, or have knowledge of. Too much co-incidence.
If you think that all religions depictions of their particular Gods, are different, very different. Here we see a marked similarity in a “common” ancient artifact (common in this case being more than 1 or 2). She looks like a woman whoes born her fair share of children, her breasts seem empty and lifeless, her hips and womb are a clue too, as her condition would expect in later life. There are some clues in art like this that go beyond mere age. They show human intelligence and an understanding of depiction.
I wonder if this gives more credence to the idea of an original tribe of Homo sapiens literally crashing on Earth and having to start afresh, with the Matriarchal female naturally becoming the “God” of her time, represented and remembered by all of her future offspring and theirs, scattered throughout the Globe, but in particular around the Meditteranean region, possibly starting with the Caucus range to the East as their starting point…
Not convinced in this theory, but adds to mix, when you can use your own experience of art, people and history, to draw conclusions from actual hand crafted pieces, not written words twisted and manipulated to confuse. It should provide more substance to any theory than simply peoples opinions thousands of years later.
