EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Venus of Laussel: A Paleolithic Goddess Holding the Horn of Abundance" The Venus of Laussel is an enigmatic and captivating Upper Paleolithic masterpiece, discovered in the Laussel Cave in Bordeaux, France, around 25 million to 18 million years ago. This intriguing relief carving, now housed in the Musée d'Aquitaine in Bordeaux, showcases the iconic Venus figure, holding a horn, a symbol of fertility and abundance. The Venus of Laussel, with her voluptuous figure, is believed to represent the goddess of fertility, love, and motherhood. Her upper body is depicted in a vertical, upright position, while her lower body is not shown. The relief, adorned with intricate patterns and details, is a testament to the artistic prowess of our ancient ancestors. The Venus of Laussel is a significant find from the Solutrean period, a time when humans were mastering the use of tools and developing more complex societies. The relief's vibrant colors and meticulous details have been preserved in the cool, dark interior of the Laussel Cave, located in the Lot-et-Garonne region of France. The Venus figure is holding a large, curved horn, a symbol of the goddess's power to bestow abundance and fertility. The horn, which is a common motif in Paleolithic art, is believed to represent the crescent moon or the horns of a cow or other powerful animal. The Venus of Laussel is a powerful reminder of the deep connection our ancestors had with nature and the divine forces that governed it. The Venus of Laussel is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, archaeology, or the ancient world. Her captivating presence and mysterious allure continue to intrigue and inspire visitors to the Musée d'Aquitaine in Bordeaux.
