Ancient Cave Art Appears Designed So Shifting Firelight Made Engravings Moving Pictures
Ancient Cave Art Appears Designed So Shifting Firelight Made Engravings Moving Pictures April 21, 2022 Portable stone paintings and engravings may have been the original moving pictures, dating back to Paleolithic times. Archaeologists believe they were positioned around cave hearths so the figures portrayed would seem to come alive in the shifting light from the fires. Human neurology is particularly attuned to interpreting shifting light and shadow as movement,” Dr Andy Needham of the University of York and co-authors write in PLOS ONE. Our pareidolia, the seeing of faces in non-human forms, goes into overdrive in such conditions. https://www.iflscience.com/editors-b...ving-pictures/ |
