Astonishing place! Over a thousand years ago too. Today we're inundated with all kinds of images and visual media, so if we see something like this, then it's no big deal. But a thousand years ago, this was basically what a night at the movies looked like, especially if peyote or some other stimulant was consumed. 😄
YEAH!!! I can just imagine an artist applying the initial brush strokes and an audience of kids going whoooOOOOOOOOoooaaaaa!!!! (They might have taken peyote, too. Laws were different back then.)
It must've been mind blowing because there was nothing like it, except natural formations like clouds, stars, and rocks. And words, of course, because of oral traditions, which I assume are likely older than "drawn art".
