I have been reading about universal symbols that go way back into prehistory. There are many photos of the incredible cave drawings discovered in the 1940′s in Lascaux France. Modern archeologists are trying to decipher their meaning using 21st century intelligence. ‘Sympathetic Magic’ used by male hunters and obviously drawn by males seems to be the current interpretation.
Why couldn’t it have been the women who drew all those extraordinary wall paintings? After all they were the ones who stayed home in the cave all day with the kids. It was primitive school, maybe? “And so you see when you find one of these (Tapping giant painted elk image with carved antler pointer) you run up and twang with pointy, flying stick just like daddy does…see here’s daddy down here…” Well why not?
