The Cro Magnon Religion



The Cro Magnon people left no written records about themselves. So what do we know about this prehistoric forerunner to the Homo sapiens? Similar to the Neanderthals, they buried tools, weapons, and ornaments with their dead. This is all according to finds documented by the research of archaeologists.

Consequently, the graves also furnished some bizarre, yet interesting artifacts including bones painted red. This was, of course, interpreted as a concern for the afterlife.
