>Nonsense. We don’t know what prehistoric cave painters believed.

you need to study a bit more history, psychology, anthropology, etc., you have absolutely no reason to believe they thought anything different than we do today and what today's hunter gatherers believe. the evidence is on my side. If you have counter evidence, offer it.

>Also this says nothing about art.

I said something about art, whereas till I said it, art was void in the conversation which I think is a glaring mistake which is why I said it. If you have something to say about art, say it, otherwise you don't have a dog in this fight.

> you have absolutely no reason to believe they thought anything different than we do today

People don’t believe this today. What are you talking about? Do you think most people today are hunting animals to eat their raw hearts to gain their power at certain times of the month?

> If you have counter evidence, offer it.

I’m not the one claiming deep insight into the beliefs of prehistoric peoples. Burden of proof is on you.

> I said something about art

You really didn’t. You said nothing meaningful about art except to substitute it for the word picture. And then the rest of your replies have also had nothing to do with art.
