Message from the stone age is still a mystery

Painting or symbols embedded in the walls of the cave looks like it is the origin of the written language. First discovered in France and later discovered in various parts of the world. Roughly what message can we capture from painting or symbols.

A visitor looks at the walls of the Hall Of the Bulls, the cave of Lascaux II, Dordogne, France, which has a prehistoric paintings of beautiful, until now. Only recently have researchers have started to see, half circles, lines and squiggles strangely zigzag that surrounds them. This may be a key to understanding the early forms of human communication.

Painting the rock is in the Chobe National Park, Botswana, illustrates an eland, elephants and deer or gemsbok. However, the symbols that surround those who may hold the key to understanding human communication.



Zigzag lines do not appear until about 20,000 years ago and about 13,000 years ago has disappeared. There are forms of the same-shaped snaking from 30,000 years ago, but it also disappeared from about 13,000 years ago. Similar symbols have been found in Central Australia, Africa, Europe, and South and North America.

This hand painted on the walls of the cave at Rio Pinturas, Argentina. The shape of the hand that created by holding all or part of the hand towards the surface, using paint or clay.
Although clearly visible, this symbol is very surprising and rare, found only less than 7 percent of the French site. First discovered in Chauvet, and seems to have spread to many regions up to 13,000 years ago until it was not used again. This symbol is also found in Australia and Burma.

Symbol Hand dominates the original murals in a cave, Australia shows how far the spread of the symbol. There is also a symbol of the spiral at the top of the roof. Spiral symbols found in only two sites in France, which surprised the researchers because it turns out the motif common in these cultures.
Although rare in France, there are also feature spiral symbol in the art of rocks around the world, including China, Africa, Europe and South America.

The paintings were found in the cave of Lascaux II. The symbol in the form of the point as clearly visible but so also in the form of a rectangle (to the left of a point). A rectangle-shaped symbol found in 20 percent of the site and have been linked to the site in South Africa, India and South and North America.

These symbols are found in caves at Rio Pinturas, Argentina. Concentrated in the lower left circle regarded as early examples of synecdoche (using a part of something to represent the whole), and how that represents the ideas of symbolic rather than realistic. The circle is similar in other places have been used to represent the eyes on the painting horse and bull.

Point and line are some symbols are most often found. Dots in many different sizes appear in 42 percent of the French site, including this one in Chauvet. The lines are found in more than 70 percent of the site and came up from 30,000 years ago to 10,000 years ago.

What about indonesia?

It does not lose many painting or symbols that are found in Indonesia. The discovery of cave paintings in South Sulawesi to the first kalianya made by C.H.M. Heeren-Palm in 1950 in Leang PattaE.

In the cave is also found the stamp-stamp hands with a background of red paint. Perhaps this is the cap of the left hand. There was also a stamp-stamp hand is made by means of draw fingers hand it on the wall of the cave and then sprinkled with red paint.
In the cave is also found the painting a pig deer was jumping with an arrow in the heart. Perhaps this kind of painting is meant as a hope that they are successfully hunted in the forest. Hog deer last described with horizontal lines was red


The painting on the wall of the cave Sumpangbita Anoa, Pangkep, South Sulawesi.


In the Moluccas, the inventor of painting the walls of the cave is j. Roder in 1937, although the possible community around already know before Roder found it. Roder find painting Cave of as many as 100 pieces on Seram island, on the walls of crag above the Tala. The painting is found in the form of images of deer, birds, humans, the boat, the symbol of the Sun, and eyes.

Also found on the island of Seram in Maluku, a rock painting is also found in the islands of Kei, on the cliff rocks with an altitude of 5-10 meters from the sea level. The paintings are found in the Kei is generally just a straight line, but there is a given color on the inside, particularly to the human image.
Unless human beings with various scenes (dance, fight, holding a shield, and squat with both hands raised), there is also pattern mask, birds, boats, Sun, and geometric shapes.
The style of painting is found similar to that found on Seram island, West Papua and East Timor, even painting in Australia to the South.
People who are considered to be of prehistoric paintings were first noted in Papua is Johannes Keyts (a merchant) in the course of the Banda to the coast of Guinea in 1678 Nuw. He passed through a coral Cliff at the edge of the Bay which is filled by the skull Speelman, a statue of a man, and a variety of paintings on the walls of the cave with red
In the caves and niches in Sulawesi Tenggra located in Mentanduro, La Kabori, Kolumbo, shops, and wa Bose, while the niche-ceruknya is La Sabo, Ladder Ara, La Nasrofa, and Ida Malangi. All of this remains in the surrounding area of shifting cultivation Liabalano, Kampung Mabolu, village of Bolo, Kotobu.
The most interesting rock art are Cave Tamrin and cave of Ham because so many images in it. The cave is located near the River Tamrin Marang, has a number of paintings of masked dancers who covered the whole of the head. The painting is similar to the still unfolding dance customs in some tribes in New Guinea.
Meanwhile, in the cave of Ham found pattern cap like dancers, tapirs, deer and herbs. Chazine argued that the hand stamp patterns in the encounter in the cave is the most in the world.
Painting and symbols contained in caves are a very valuable historical relics. To the extent that there is a cave painting in Lascaux, created the original Navy ship so stay awake.
