Welcome to PAATH History
This video is created to discuss about prehistoric arts. Art marks an entirely new phase in human history in the development of thought and imagination. In Europe, most prehistoric paintings tend to be located in dark, relatively inaccessible parts of the caves, but those in Indian rock shelters are usually in well-lit areas, easily seen. Cave paintings were not the only art form produced by these cultures. Thousands of other art objects have also been found. Scholars have speculated about the underlying motives of this art. All these issues are addressed along with a short discussion on various archaeological sites containing various prehistoric art objects.
