Decoding Prehistoric Art through the White Shaman Mural

The White Shaman Mural is
an amazing rock painting
produced by hunter gatherers
who were living in the Lower Pecos
area of Texas a couple of thousand years ago
It's absolutely gorgeous
reds, and black, and yellows, and white
that combine to create this magnificent painting.
My hope is that people will come away from this
and realize that we have this incredible opportunity
to read these pictorial narratives
that are thousands of years old
which is unprecedented
and that we can learn and begin to understand
the complexity of the people who came before us.
that the hunter gatherers, whether they were wearing fiber sandals
and using stone tools
they had the same cognitive capacity
that we do.
They have the same brain that put a man on the moon.
