Old masters Art before agriculture and political, military power and religion. That is art under animism that went into ending when civilization started to grow its first roots some 6-8000 years ago. What is less clear is when animism started to grow its own roots, 50,000, 100,000 or some hundred thousand years earlier. Whatever the answer animism has been by far the longest period on humanity's societal road. But it was in pre-historical times so we really know very little of that period... and to make matters worse to establish its own dominance Christianity destroyed all possible traces of animism anywhere it established itself as the dominant worldview. in The Guardian by Jonathan Jones """ Archaeologists have discovered what they believe to be a 27,000-year-old drawing of a face, which would make it the oldest in history.
