Magura Cave, located in north-western Bulgaria. Cave paintings as old as 10.000 to 8.000 years depict important events of society at the time, including religious ceremonies, hunting scenes and depictions of deities. The Fertility Dance and the Hunting Ceremony rank among the most noteworthy paintings.

Paraphrased from the Wikipedia article on “Magura Cave.” Fascinating stuff, and the first in my series of posts focusing on art throughout the ages that should be banned forever according to tumblr. Please note that the top is the Fertility Dance, and that prehistoric men apparently had dongs the size of their arms. Completely to scale, we promise.
