2,300-Year-Old Plush Bird from the Altai Mountains of Siberia (c.400-300 BCE): crafted with a felt body and reindeer-fur stuffing, all of which remains intact

This artifact was sealed within the frozen barrows of Pazyryk, Siberia, for more than two millennia, where a unique microclimate enabled it to be preserved. The permafrost ice lense formation that runs below the barrows provided an insulating layer, preventing the soil from heating during the summer and allowing it to quickly freeze during the winter; these conditions produced a separate microclimate within the stone walls of the barrows themselves, thereby aiding in the preservation of the artifacts inside.

This is just one of the many well-preserved artifacts that have been found at Pazyryk. These artifacts are attributed to the Scythian/Altaic cultures.

Currently housed at the Hermitage Museum.

What a surprise - more neolithic stuff. Making these things is very therapeutic, burning splinters and arranging shards into something. Picking broken stupid little things and building portals. Recreating the oldest motif in the history of paint.

I guess you can call my genre 'overly emotional about pebbles'

Hey! It's that vintage model kit I bought, stripped the decades-old enamel paint from, and repainted!

do you think that prehistoric humans making cave paintings had any idea that people like them would see their art long after they're gone

I kind of think they must have, right? I mean, I doubt they could've predicted people seeing their art thousands of years later, I don't know if they could've grasped that sheer scale of time, but one of the earliest things ancient people were aware of was mortality, they must have at least known "someday, i will be dead, and there will be people who will be alive after me, and they might visit this cave." I mean, that's part of some the purpose of art, isn't it? the element of posterity and longevity? you see that a lot in art and literature, the idea of achieving immortality through art because even if you die, your art will outlive you and continue to influence people's lives long after you're gone. i don't know if that's what prehistoric people had in mind, but maybe they thought at least a few generations ahead. maybe when they held up their children to put handprints high above their heads, they thought that someday, their grandchildren might come to that same cave and see how small their parents' hands once were

#asks #anonymous #this got. long. #thank you anon for sending this because I'm going to cry about cave paintings now #prehistoric art Fucks Me Up #the idea of creating something? and then tens of thousands of years later it is still being seen by other human eyes? #and people are still understanding and connecting with it? this thing you made? #I get chills #I think about the hands painting the animals they saw outside #hands carving figurines that held spiritual value #hands crafting jewelry they thought was beautiful #ancient hands belonging to people I will never know #but they were like me. they liked to create and they thought animals were interesting and they found things beautiful #genuinely I have tears in my eyes as I write this #I need to go to bed this is too much for me

Prehistoric Mirrors from Turkey, c.6000 BCE: these are the oldest manufactured mirrors in the world, dating back about 8,000 years; they were meticulously crafted from pieces of obsidian

Two of the obsidian mirrors from Çatalhöyük (Turkey); this pair was found buried together back in 2012

At least eight of these obsidian mirrors have been found at Çatalhöyük, a Neolithic site located in Turkey. All of these mirrors date back about 8,000 years, and each one was crafted from a chunk of obsidian (volcanic glass) that was knapped into the shape of a disc and then meticulously polished with progressively finer abrasives until a smooth, slightly convex surface had been developed. Some of these mirrors can still produce remarkably clear reflections.

More dolmens and menhirs, with handprints, luminous fog, birds or portals, and a couple of cliffs. I think I'll try adding more painted and sculpted elements, and ghostly creatures of course
