One day in 1879, five-year-old Maria de
Sautuola and her father, Don Marcelino de Sautuola, explored the cave of
Altamira on his estate in nourthern Spain. Suddenly Don Marcelino heard her cry
out, “ Toros! Toros!”. He found her staring at the ceiling of the cavern. It
was covered with huge bison, painted in red and black. They were drawn so
skillfully that they seemed almost alive. Elsewhewre in the cave Don Marcelino
found pictures of horses, deer, and wild boars. He was convinced that the
pictures were made by primitive people. Maria’s discovery made the cave of
Altamira famous... By 1900, scientists generally accepted cave art as the work
of primitive people. The lifelike and colorful cave paintings at Altamira were
at least 20 thousand years old...
P.S. Archaeologists are the scientists who
specialize in a branch of anthropology. They excavate, classify and study the
remains of ancient cultures.
P.P.S. Dintr-o familie cu 2 mame si 2
tati istorici - arheologi (emoticon razna de traznit), copilul Luca nu putea
inchistra, pe oul de Paste, decat o pictura rupestra... in sens magic dar si
estetic... artistul se cunoaste de mic!
