Ancient people have known how to use calendars since ancient times

In the latest discovery, the researchers discovered traces that humans lived in the Ice Age had knowledge of the movement of constellations to use as a calendar.

Ancient paintings discovered are believed to be the ancient star calendar of an estimated age of 40,000 years ago.

Previously, the ancient Greeks were known to be the first to know how to use the calendar .

Lead researcher Dr. Martin Sweatman, from the University of Edinburgh (Scotland), said: 'Early cave drawings show that people have advanced knowledge about the sky in the Century. last ice.

Intellectually, they are almost no different from us today. Some paintings in ancient caves are thought to be animal symbols, essentially representing the constellations'.

Archaeologists discover ancient carvings on ancient caves are the symbols of the constellations.

For more solid evidence, other research teams have studied the caves with new Neolithic sites in different parts of the world such as Turkey, Spain, France and Virtue.

A special computer software is then used to predict the position of stars when the paintings are reproduced.

The unexpected results show what looks like abstract descriptions of animals that can be interpreted as signs of the zodiac based on the constellation as they appear at the time.

Previously, the world's oldest 'sculpture' , Lion Man in Hohlenstein-Stadel, Germany, an ivory sculpture of nearly 40,000 years old, is also thought to be a zodiac symbol.

Besides, the researchers said an ancient carved stone pillar in Turkey provided another proof.

The scientists also deciphered the most famous ancient art work, Lascaux Shaft Scene in a cave area in the Dordogne region of France.

With all the bases combined, Dr. Sweatman said: 'These findings support the provision of information that ancient people want to portray the impact of comets in human development.' .
