MoonKai 8 Laura K. said...: In the cave art I see a Aurochs in the picture I also see some Irish Elk fleeing. This means that they probably had a successful hunt and killed some of those animals.

In the top picture it looks like they ambushed the animal and shot it down with arrows.; September 23, 2014 at 6:20 PM
Dylan Myers Moonkai said...: You can tell that it is old because no one draws on cave walls anymore. I can tell that the people that drew this was a really good hunter or really likes animals; September 24, 2014 at 1:27 PM
Dylan Myers Moonkai said...: He is the 5,000-year-old mummy found frozen in the Italian Alps. Theirs a theory that he died because of head trauma not by bleeding out because of the arrow found on his left shoulder. Researchers believe that the arrow may have lead to massive blood lost, shock and heart attack.; September 24, 2014 at 1:37 PM

Firestar9 Landon kocar said...: I think that that picture means that they need animals for an importance. Also the picture shows that the people used bow and arrows for hunting and it shows that they must hunt deer a lot because they are easy to find.; September 26, 2014 at 2:56 PM
Brooklyn Moonkia period 3 said...: On the top one you could see that they hunted with bows and hunted animals like deer. For the bottom one it looks like two bulls fighting for the smaller animals. The mane thing in these pictures are the animals, I would understand because animals are used for food tools clothing mostly every thing they need to survive if they didn't have animals they wouldn't last against ginormous animals.; September 28, 2014 at 9:33 PM

3Ava W said...: I think it shows you in both that animals were a very important part of thier lives. In the top it shows one way they hunted and what they hunted. It looks like Irish Elk or possible some kind of deer. The bottom picture shows some of the kinds of animals that lived in the Stone Age and that they were important.; October 2, 2014 at 8:06 PM
