By examining the paleolithic paintings, we intend to
find some symbols or shapes spotted around the animals figures or
inside the figures but not knowing what they actually mean. The zig
zag lines, the hand prints, dots, ladder shapes, spirals and
triangles all have a meaning. Researchers believed that the symbols
were a form of communication, like a language to read about the cave
art. Symbols can be signatures from the artists of the palaeolithic
era, or it can explain a story that the painting has to offer from
the artist. Scholars believed that cave paintings were products of
rituals that would strengthen bonds between clans, and also enhance
the fertitlity of animals they used for foods.
