Anthropologists Believe Hallucinogen
Aided Paintings
March 18, 2006 (written by Haunted

Some of the most glorious works of art ever painted were
done 25,000 to 40,000 years ago on cave walls in
southern France and northern Spain. These paintings have
puzzled anthropologists ever since their discovery 40
years ago. The paintings display astonishing degrees of
talent and depict strange arrays of bison, horses, and
part animal part man creatures known as therianthropes.
Many anthropologists claim that the works of art were
done by shamans under a trance-like state. These trances
were most likely brought on by psilocybin, which is a
psychoactive ingredient found in certain mushrooms. If
it is indeed true that these paintings were done under
altered states of consciousness, then it is the first
visible encounter with the supernatural and the first
expression of spiritual myth, making it a defining point
in human history.
