Question

although the cave paintings at the great hall of bulls at lascaux were at first interpreted as depictions of hunting scenes, what were some of the other theories that followed? (you must choose choose 2 correct answers)

Answer 1

1) Depiction of daily life

2) Religious rituals

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Depiction of daily life - the paintings just show what life was like to pass on experiences to descendants. This theory is possible due to the sequence that the paintings are in where various animals are shown being tracked and hunted (a large part of what they did back then)

2) Religious rituals - proposed by a priest named Henry Breuil who spent most of his adult life wandering and studying the caves, the paintings might have been done as a form of spirituality to increase hunting effectiveness. This seems viable due to the various religions that appeared aroundd the world based off of animal deities.
