My Uncle haas a really interesting theory on pictographs.
He thinks that most pictographs were drawn by children.
And it makes sense. If you notice the level of most pictographs they're knee level,
waist level, they're low, they're low to the ground.
And if you were a grown adult you wouldn't naturally bend over to
try to paint or try to draw something.
Your natural position to draw is eye level.
And just the way pictographs look most pictographs
look kind of childish they're stick figures they're squiggly lines.
I think we chalk it up to people being at a lower
artistic intellectual level.
Why do we think that?
Most of where you find pictographs is under rocks or what
we would assume is a shelter of some kind.
They were drawings in the home.
Imagine it was raining or it was snowing and your kids were bored
there's no Netflix back then you know what do you have them do?
You let them draw on the walls.
I don't know. I like the theory, so I'll stick with it.
