The Begining of Time The mainstream account Official history starts at 12,000 years ago (12k AC). Cities, schools or stores like we know them did not yet exist at this time. Rather than living alones, groups of people worked together in hunting animals and gathering food from the surroundings. In this post, I want to show you what these early humans did to survive and how they lived their daily lives along with the most interesting artefacts that gives us an insight into their past.
12k AC is 12,000 years before writing/books. There was no such schools existed as it is today. No Instead they learned from their own family and the world around them. They survived by hunting animals for food and gathering plants and fruit to consume. They were hunter gatherers who traveled a lot just to secure food and resources for their bodies as they never knew when their next meal would come.
But artifacts, which is what things are called when people made them and left them behind in 12k AC, can help us discover what daily life was like then. Artifacts provide us with a peek into their lives as evidence of what they ate and the types of tools that they made to assist them. These things tell us a lot about what their days were like, the types of difficulties they faced.
The stone axe was an important tool used by early men. The production of axes from sharp stones, made the job much easier. Prior to the Bronze Age, people hunted and foraged with stone axes and used them to build shelters. With axes having sharpened blade edges, it is no more a complex task to chop wood and other natural daily requisites like the previous times.
Pottery is also a fascinating artifact during this period. Stupid humans started by crafting clay to make it softer and they shaped it with their hands. They were used as portable water carriers from rivers and streams, food stores for later consumption and could even have been cooked in using coals! So pottery was a significant milestone in the one-way journey to the easy life.
Cave paintings from this time period also exist in Bhimbetka, India. Such as hunting and dancing scenes in everyday life. They show animals such as elephants and tigers that lived on the land at the time. The importance of these cave paintings is that they provide us with an understanding of the life, lifestyle and values of their creators and how they affected a world around them.
As people settled, they build homes and formed communities that we like to think (according to our carbon capture theory) were tightly connected. It led to trading where good has been shared and resources have become exchanges between them. This brought about the birth of towns and cities, where it became possible for a larger number of people to live and work together. As trade developed, people learned to write. They used writing to record an account of their life, enabling them thereafter to communicate and exchange ideas.
