Depending on which cave you go in to, they carved animals, people, especially hunters, and even a hand print. Interesting stuff.





Check out: "Aurignacian (c. 34,000 - 23,000 BP) - responsible for Venus figurines, cave paintings at the Chauvet Cave (continued during the Gravettian period). "
Reply:Just about every early people that could communicate had creation stories and most of them centered around animals they were familiar with so any carvings may have depicted the earth as everything from the back of a turtle to a water buffalo.
