[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by KING: [qb] Mike111 Nothing but truth coming from your post. What can I say, I tried to help her...but sadly she would rather think she is winning a debate, instead of discussiing things with people who want to help her. Hopefully someone else will try because she all but ignored my post and posted a Blurd from alTakruri ignoring the part about Basil Davidson. Keep trying to reach these people anyways. Peace [/qb][/QUOTE]I didn't ignore anything. Basil Davidson's opinion was that the Tassili Ladies was painted in 3000 BC." So what is your point??? [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [qb] . [b]Tassili paintings and engravings, like those of other rock art areas in the Sahara, are commonly divided into at least four chronological periods based on style and content. These are: 1)an archaic tradition depicting wild animals whose antiquity is unknown but certainly goes back well before 4500 B.C. 2) a so-called bovidian tradition, which corresponds to the arrival of cattle in North Africa between 4500 and 4000 B.C. 3) a "horse" tradition, which corresponds to the appearance of horses in the North African archaeological record from about 2000 B.C. onward 4) a "camel" tradition, which emerges around the time of Christ when these animals first appear in North Africa. Engravings of animals such as the extinct giant buffalo are among the earliest works, followed later by paintings in which color is used to depict humans and animals with striking naturalism. In the last period, chariots, shields, and camels appear in the rock paintings. While these traditions are successive, it does appear that earlier ones continued on for varying lengths of time after the appearance of later ones. Two important qualifiers need to be made. First, many scholars have recently questioned a pan-Saharan chronology and there is a move away from grandiose chronological schemes to concentrating more on understanding regional chronological variability. Second, the Sahara, given its vast size and various political complications, is still an inadequately researched area in terms of rock art and very few dates exist. As more work is done and techniques for dating advance, it is likely that this four-period dating scheme will be modified in particular regions and that more will be learned about the origins and demise of Saharan rock art.
