Produktbeschreibung

Fact: 'Art is as old as humanity'. It is not the role of this work to attempt to prove that rock art existed from the dawn of humanity; simply because it did, there is no question about that. What this work sets out to do therefore is to explore what rock art was like hundreds of thousands, or millions of years ago; that being throughout what today we call the Stone Age, a vast time when various hominins are known to have lived, loved, created and speculated, just like us today. The proof, if needs be, is in the finding. So much rock art has been preserved in the archaic soils of Southern England, where rivers once flowed, ice sheets once formed and melted, and lakes once flooded and dried up. Yet today so much has been missed, misunderstood, or just not recognised. Stone Age Rock Art, A Three-Million-Year Journey, is thus setting this record straight, so that the art of the ancient ancestors is no longer a mystery hidden by the very stones which express it, but shines forth from them.

Autorenporträt

Stepping outside the proverbial box and resetting fixed narratives, is challenging. After tackling several topics of world interest over the past 45 years of his writing career, from Okinawan martial history to ancestry, the author set out to discover and report on Stone Age art. "Stone Age Rock Art, A Three-Million-Year Journey (In colour)" is his forth book on this challenging subject; a topic that has eluded the archaeological community for so long, but sorely needs to be addressed. Most of his published works can be discovered in the Facebook group, Q&I Publications.
