Pre-history

  •  There is no known civilization that has not used some form of art or aesthetics. 

Some example are:

  • Venus of Willendorf -from Austria. c. 25,000-20,000 BCE limestone, height 4 3/8 inches. Naturhistorischesmuseum, Vienna.
  • Lascaux caves, France - 1,500, each bull is about 16 feet long.
  • Stonehenge, England - 2,800- 1,500 BC. post and lintel construction.
  • Ziggaurat or Step Pyramid - step pyramid at Saqqaroh, egypt, built in six stages for djoser, the second king of the 3rd dynasty.
