Let’s talk about caves. It's what's up to bat for my students this week.
Lascaux, for instance. It’s like stepping into the mind of someone who saw the world as a giant puzzle, where animals were both the prey and the gods. And Altamira—what a place.
"Cave of Forgotten Dreams" by Warner Herzog takes the Chauvet Cave art to some fantastic places in terms of thinking about these ancestors. I always try to watch it before I go into this week of Era 2: Early Humans; it gets me really inspired to discuss this stuff.
