ReplyDeleteI chose figure eight. It appears to be some type of bird.It is very colorful and is probably something that was worshiped. It could be a symbol for a God.
ReplyDeleteI choose figure four. It is a past king. His face his relaxed so id say he was a very calm person. Supposedly that is where he resided until he was ready to pass on.
ReplyDeleteI chose figure 5 because you can tell by looking at it its abstract art the rider was an medicine man
ReplyDeleteI choose figure 4 because the lord or king seems to be very noble and collected. In the sculpture they say that the soul or passed life will be transformed into the carving.
ReplyDeleteI chose figure two. It looks as if it was drawn to prepare for a hunt against the animals. They drew it out on caves to take some of that animals energy with them as they hunted.
ReplyDeleteStonehenge

- is made up of 60 remaining stones, the largest stone left is about 7 meters tall and weighs 45 tonnes
I choose the Stonehenge: many people believe it was created as either a religious place or some type of observatory.I think that maybe it was just arranged for no reason, it may be some sort of decorative commodity.

ReplyDeleteIn figure 2 a bull or cow is shown on a cave painting along with a horse and the painter of this work is believed to be hunters who believed painting the animal let them capture part of that animal, so they could easily trap and kill it. The painting is done on stone with brown and red coloring.

ReplyDeleteOlmec head. This piece of sculpture was used as a symbol to show off the power and wealth of the tribe. Although there were many heads they all looked similar leading to the idea of a single important individual. However many debate that instead they were sculptures of the heads of those who lost at one of the sacred games and were beheaded, thus that is why there are only heads and not the entire body.
