Sobre IBD

Fact: ’Art is as old as humanity’. It is not the role of this work to attempt to prove that rock art existed from the dawn of humanity; simply because it did, there is no question about that. What this work sets out to do therefore is to explore what rock art was like hundreds of thousands, or millions of years ago; that being throughout what today we call the Stone Age, a vast time when various hominins are known to have lived, loved, created and speculated, just like us today.The proof, if needs be, is in the finding. So much rock art has been preserved in the archaic soils of Southern England, where rivers once flowed, ice sheets once formed and melted, and lakes once flooded and dried up. Yet today so much has been missed, misunderstood, or just not recognised. Stone Age Rock Art, A Three-Million-Year Journey, is thus setting this record straight, so that the art of the ancient ancestors is no longer a mystery hidden by the very stones which express it, but shines forth from them.

    For hundreds of thousands of years, Stone Age lithics & the artefacts that the ancestors created with them were their survival, but the same stones also provided a means of artistic expression. Far, far longer than the Age of Metals has been with us, stone was the force to be reckoned with. Hard sarsen sandstone, granite, obsidian glass & flint were but some of the natural rock...

    Can old stones talk? Yes, but not so much of themselves as lifeless bits of crystalline rock, rather through the art created by our Stone Age ancestors. They have left this for us to appreciate but for too long their portable rock art has been ignored or deprecated as meaningless, or even non-existent. The image that researchers of prehistory have passed down to us is of fearso...
