Cave paintings as prehistoric flip art

The New Neo Posted on August 28, 2021 by neoAugust 28, 2021

I find this wondrous: Reconstructions of the original grease lamps produce a circle of light about 10 feet in diameter, which is not much larger than many images in the cave. Geneste believes that early artists used this small area … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on July 6, 2021 by neoJuly 6, 2021

And I suppose it was deadly to Ashli Babbitt – although it was neither the riot nor the rioters that killed her. Other people died that day, but not because the riot was “deadly” – they died of natural causes. … Continue reading →
