The Assyrian Bucket (figures 1-8)
This art motif, often labeled a ‘bucket’ by art historians, is quite the anomaly. First appearing as early as the 10th century BCE at Gobekli Tepe then disappearing from the historical record only to reappear nine millennia later nearly simultaneously in Assyria and in Mesoamerica.

The Lascaux Cave (figures 145-149)
Known as ‘The Bison Hunt’, this cave art found in France is dated to c.15,000 BCE after which the cave was made supposedly inaccessible by a ceiling collapse that blocked the entrance. The cave was not rediscovered until 1940 when two boys found another entrance. There is more to this art than has not been obvious to the more than casual observer. (pictured: fig.145)
