Today’s class we spoke about basics of history . Which started from prehistory,protohistory and history. Prehistory which included Atemira spain and Lascaux spain cave paintings . Which were so intricately done and much deeper histroy and stories behind it . We also spoke about the Venus osf wellendor . Many suprising facts were also discovered in the process . Starting from a place which had 20 layers . As in a city layers of remains soil then new people discovered the place and settled . Similarly 20 layers seemed impossible to know but was an evident discovery . Then the new term we understood known as excarnation. This is where the organs are removed and stored . Similarly , we came to know about many such after death rituals of various cultures which was very much astonishing but still the thought behind it was very much unknown . Where Egyptians removed the eyes of the dead similarly a culture buried their bodies under the house . At end we also spoke about Catal Hyuk . There were many facts and how different cultures followed which in future might be an amzing bridgeway to connect .
