Firelight and moonlight may also have enhanced the outdoor ‘rock art’ found at over 2,500 sites in England, mainly in the upland north, north midlands and Cornwall. Complex combinations of shallow ‘cup marks’, and cups within multiple concentric circles (‘cup and rings’) can cover quite large areas of prominent flat rocks; geometric patterns are much rarer. | Firelight and moonlight may also have enhanced the outdoor ‘rock art’ found at over 2,500 sites in England, mainly in the upland north, north midlands and Cornwall.

A time period that covers millions of years until the beginning of written history that started ca. 3500 BCE in the ancient Near East. The caves we came out of are littered with the tools we used to create art. | |||
