Discovering ancient cave art using 3D photogrammetry: pre-contact Native American mud glyphs from 19th Unnamed Cave, Alabama
Read article at this link:
If the following video is not available here, there’s a link to it in the linked article above.
Fascinating but no sound?
Possibly because the original artist have long dead and gone, LOL.
And instead, imo, we'd be hearing some modern jerk-off proclaiming that were made as religious symbols to honour ancient gods and deities, etc, etc.
Which the go to default of 90-99% of most Archaeologists and Anthropologists still these days most unfortunately
No sound. It's a computer-constructed visual made from multiple layered photographs
(if I understand correctly). The technology is explained better in the article.
Sorry meant to be reply to comment by @skado below just above/prior to the one posted by @bobwjr, my apologies for placing in wrong position.
@skado As far as I'm aware there was not much in the way agriculture amongst the majority of indigenous Northern American Indian Nations, a bit with, as far as I know, amongst the Cherokee and the others tribes that were once known as the 5 Civilized Tribes on the east coast but most inland they were still basically hunter-gatherers with a few minor exceptions.
btw, fyi, I am part Cherokee and part Navajo Indian.
@Triphid
Yeah, I don't know much about that particular piece of history/prehistory.
Just going by what the article said:
"All chronological data, therefore, point to human activity in the cave during the Woodland period, and specifically the Middle and Late Woodland periods. This was a time when food production and sedentary residential patterns, which had first developed independently in the region several centuries earlier, began to replace mobile foraging as the primary lifeway.'
@skado the article was great too, and I am glad to know i do not need to call The Geek Squad, thanks.
Very nice, what is the estimated age, etc, of the designs?
In Australia we have similar, both rock face etchings and paintings that are dated back some 20+ THOUSAND years and more.
I think they said these were dated from one to three thousand years ago.
