What do you think when you see this picture? Well, this art lover technology is still sloppy, with the following photo of the bison licking its ass and biting insects, it will carve out a lifelike artistic statue of a bison, which is slightly rougher, if you use computer scanning, and then control the engraving, you can definitely do better. When was it engraved? Looks a bit old, carved decades ago?
You won't believe that this bison's butt-licking carving is a gun projectile made of reindeer antlers, and it was made not by modern humans who lived decades ago, nor by ancients hundreds of thousands of years ago, but by prehistoric humans from the Paleolithic age 15,000 years ago.
The carving was found in a Magdalene rock shed near Tursac in the Dordogne department of France and is part of the Magdeline culture. The Magdeline culture is a culture of the late Paleolithic period, distributed in Western and Central Europe, dating from 18,000 to 11,000 years ago.
The Magdeline culture unearthed many exquisite carvings of antlers or bones, as well as intricate flint and bone tools, as well as many petroglyphs, which are distributed in some caves in France, Spain and Poland.
It is a carved fragment of a gun shooter made of reindeer antlers, depicting the image of a now-extinct prairie bison, probably with a bad butt bitten by a cow, turning its head and sticking out its tongue to try to lick the affected area, anti-itching and disinfection. If you still don't understand, look at the second picture and you can see at a glance, I don't know who took this photo, vividly reproduced the wild and uninhibited bison - well, I can hardly imagine, such a huge animal, like a dog, with its tongue licking its own ass, you have to marvel at the wonder of nature, the tenacity and tenacity of life.
So what is a gun shooter? It was a hunting tool invented by prehistoric humans that used the principle of leverage to increase the initial velocity of the shotgun. The hunter first fixes the tail end of the projectile with the oleander or hook-like end of the projectile, then grabs the other end with one hand and throws the projectile with the force of the upper arm and wrist. The gun projectile is equivalent to an extension of the arm, which allows the thrower to apply force to the javelin for a longer period of time, so that the javelin can gain more kinetic energy, and it is easy to make the initial speed of the projectile exceed 150 km / h.
It is surprising that prehistoric humans had the leisure to carve gun shooters so finely, indicating that people at that time had a lot of leisure time to create more art, including numerous petroglyphs and other works. This also confirms Yuval Harari's statement in "A Brief History of Mankind" that hunter-gatherers are actually taller and stronger than the people of the agricultural era, living better and freer, and that human beings have actually become more difficult and bad from the hunter-gatherer to the agricultural era. The land firmly bound human beings, and the diet changed from meat protein to less energy-efficient plant protein, so the average height decreased, the physique declined, and it was crops and livestock that tamed humans, not humans domesticated crops and livestock.
