Megalithic art

Megalithic art is a type of art made by ancient people who lived a long, long time ago. This art is special because it was made on big stones that were put together to make big structures, like circles or tombs.

To make megalithic art, people used different tools like hammers and chisels to make shapes and lines on the stones. They made all sorts of patterns and shapes, like circles, spirals, zig-zags, and even animals like bulls or deer.

Megalithic art was made by people in different parts of the world, like Europe, Asia, and Africa. It’s really amazing because even though these people lived in different places, they all had similar ideas about what was important to show in their art.

We can still see megalithic art today and it’s really impressive because it’s still so clear and detailed, even though it’s thousands of years old!
