Pearls
of the cave are the unique paintings on stone, done in bat guano.
They are multi layered and come from different epochs - The Epupaleolith,
The Neolith, The Eneolith, the beginning of The Early Bronze Age. The
paintings in the 'Magura' cave represent dancing women, dancing and hunting
men, disguised men, large variety of animals, suns, stars, instruments
of labour, plants etc. The Solar calendar from The Late Eneolith and some
later additions, made during The Early Bronze age are quite accurate.
Through pictures information about religous events and feasts along with
their smbols and particular personages were saved.
Some of the images are very complex compositions and hint about the diversity of ideas in a world extremely rich in intelectual and spiritual aspect.The 'Magura' drawings define its function as a temple for a long period of time - from The Neolith till The Iron age.
The
images are in analogy to those in famous cultural centres in Italy,The
Iberian peninsula and middle Asia. Undoubtedly they belong to thwe Mediterial
mediums of prehistorical art.
