Tribal Tattoos


 
 
 
  

Like the origins of art has its roots in the cave paintings, just as real evidence of tattooing was discovered recently frozen and mummified bodies of the first men, whose skin was covered with tattoos. The oldest tattooed body to our knowledge has been discovered on a man of the Bronze Age that has been dead for over 5000 years. It was found intact in a glacier Italian. The researchers were surprised by examining more closely the fact that he had both arms, legs and torso covered with tattoos drawn representing mythical creatures.Engravings on rocks ice dating from 15,000 years BC show people tattooed Egyptian mummies from 4200 BC include tattoos. Works of art, archaeologically valid, show that tattoos began to emerge about 30,000 years ago. No one is supposed to ignore that, with the exception of mummies, all traces of art on the human body disappears with flames or ashes with their support.
