Early rock paintings found at sites like Çatalhöyük in Turkey depicted schematic symbols, people, and hunting scenes believed to have religious meaning. Pottery from this period was initially decorated with geometric designs and later painted scenes. Megalithic art from the same era, including structures like Stonehenge, was likely used to worship celestial events and commemorate solstices, featuring standing stones arranged individually, in lines as alignments, or circled as cromlechs to mark tombs and hold religious significance.
