The dog in Antiquity
Image - All you need is biology
But, before we get down to business, let me tell you something. The dog is an animal that has lived with humans for about 10 years. At that time, people were nomads, that is, they did not have a fixed home, but they always went in search of safer places and where there were more animals with which to feed.
In the past there were already people who were dedicated to drawing. Proof of this are the cave paintings so well preserved that we can see in almost any ancient site, such as the Altamira Caves in Cantabria (Spain). Everything you could see was drawn: horses, fish, mammoths, ... and of course, dogs. These animals not only kept humans company, but also helped them to hunt.
It must have been very intense, very true, that relationship, since yesterday, like today, only what was really important was drawn for everyday life.
This custom of drawing the dogs on the walls was not lost with the passage of time, but, on the contrary, it was perfected. So much so that in the tombs of the ancient Egyptians, built about 3 years ago, we can see drawings of dogs that look a lot like the original animals, as you can see in these images:
But the Egyptians were not the only ones, but all civilizations, at some point, wanted to have a lasting memory of the animal that helped them in their search for food and that gave them affection and security.
Thus, we come to our days. And currently drawing dogs is a very interesting entertainment, from which children can learn a lot.
