I took a photo of this prehistoric artifact at the Museum of Pech-Merle this spring, when they had an exhibition about the stars & prehistory. Regrettably I didn’t get the provenance (I think it might be a find from the Castel Merle grotte). It’s a ‘mobile’ portable artifact, which some interpret as a moon calendar . The moon has a 29 day cycle so observe that there could be 14 notches on the first row depending on what one counts, & that maybe the deviation in row two into a circle rather than a row, was meant to be indicative of the disappearing or empty moon? | I took a photo of this prehistoric artifact at the Museum of Pech-Merle this spring, when they had an exhibition about the stars & prehistory.

The earliest known artists were Cro-Magnon peoples from 30,000 BCE who lived in caves and hunted animals. | |||
