Lazy Sunday watching a Ted talk about geometric cave signs and the origins of graphic communication. . . ‘With its origins stretching back tens of thousands of years to the geometric signs of ice age Europe and far beyond, to that point deep in our collective history when someone first came up with the idea or making a geometric mark and forever changing the nature of how we communicate’ - Quotes by Genevieve von Petzinger. . . . #ted #tedtalk #youtube #iceage #symbols #art #prehistoric #europe #communication #message #write #shape #form #sunday #chill #sundayvibes #quote #quoteoftheday #ancientoutlook

Hundreds of rock carvings - petroglyphs - have been discovered in western Maharashtra, India. . . ‘The way the petroglyphs have been drawn, and their similarity to those found in other parts of the world, have led experts to believe that they were created in prehistoric times and are possibly among the oldest ever discovered’[...] But this begs the question of why some of the petroglyphs depict animals like rhinoceroses and hippos which aren't found in India. Did the people who created them migrate to India from Africa? Or were these animals once found in India?’ . . . #symbol #art #design #architect #culture #ancient #india #history #animals #prehistoric #culture #old #travel #africa #african #animals #bbc #news #ancientoutlook

Romulus founded the city of Rome in 753BC when he became king. Over 700 years later, Octavian formed the Roman Empire and was offered the title ‘Romulus’. While he liked to be associated with the morals and religious characteristics of Romulus, he did not want to be seen to be trying to be a ‘king’ 🤴 and so rejected it in favour of ‘Augustus’ Caesar. . . . #rome #roman #history #ancient #classics #royal #name #literature #quote #instaquote #ancientoutlook

Aristotle, Plato and Socrates all believed that swans singing prowess was heightened as death approached, giving rise to the idea of the ‘swan song’, or final performance. In medieval times, the mute swan was seen as a valuable commodity which was regularly traded between noblemen. . The association between swans and the afterlife goes back to the early days of human civilisation, when ideas of a ‘path of souls’ and symbolic carriers of souls dominated. . . #bird #park #birds #swan #symbol #meaning #history #historylover #culture #philosophy #rspb #nature #animal #ancient #believe #soul #travel #north #journey #ancientoutlook

This is Lucy the Border Terrier 🐶 . Her distant ancestors were first domesticated around 14000 years ago at a time when climate changes may have brought wolves and humans into closer proximity . One theory is that in a time of limited meat supply, wolves 🐺 were drawn to human camps to feed on the scraps and from this increased exposure, they (their puppies especially) became trained and domesticated by humans. . #dogsofinstagram #dog #dogs #doglife #dogpics #dogstagram #instadog #terrier #borderterrier #human #animal #history #relationship #anthropology #culture #telegraph #ancient #instapic #instadaily #ancientoutlook
