ITALY

ITALY: The thousands of Copper Age sites at Valcamonica that feature engravings, depicting everything from houses to animals to shamanic figures, might be more like cinemas than museums. Researchers note that some carvings seem to tell stories, are visible only in morning or evening, and are in places where echoes would have made for engaging audiovisual performances. There may also have been a kind of ratings board—they rarely feature women and never show death.
