The period from about 10000-50000 Years Before Present is the time that has always fascinated me most easily.

It’s when most all the cave art got done, and the Venus figurines, and that ‘earliest known sculpture’ of the Lion Man. Probably the first serious storytelling too, but it’s hard to know for sure because writing stories down hadn’t been invented yet–the traditions would have been (and I’m sure were) purely oral, along the lines of the pre-Homer Odyssey and that one about Gilgamesh.

Ten thousand years ago, History (and “Progress”) started, and everything went to shit, so the Neolithic and Anthropocene don’t get me revved up like the Paleolithic does. (I’m not into “modern” art .; )

Anyway there’s some nicely done videos on those days, starting here.

And as an aside, I have owned both solutrean.com and magdalenian.com for decades, but haven’t ever done anything with them. So if you have a purpose or even just an idea for them, you could probably talk me into donating them to you for that, because I’m in the process of unburdening myself.

On several dozen levels at once.
