Rick Steves Art: Prehistoric and Ancient
Rick Steves' Europe © 2023 | As the Ice Age glaciers melted, European civilization was born - and with it, so was art. From the Stone Age came prehistoric art: mysterious tombs, mighty megaliths, and vivid cave paintings. Then the Egyptians and the Greeks laid the foundations of Western art - creating a world of magical gods, massive pyramids, sun-splashed temples, and ever-more-lifelike statues.

He gets the ad revenue, so not entirely for free. But it's lovely just the same.

@@LuciaFiero Fair enough, he is also into tourism business, 30,000 or so people/year book europe tours through him.
Excellent documentary, as usual. Bravo and thank you Rick Steves. That reminded me of my History of Art studies ... so long ago but still vivid. Keep enchanting us! Thank you from Paris, France, on which you did a few remarquable documentaries too.
Prehistoric art always stands as kind-of a stone hard example that survival & art don't contrast, but complement each other. Not just do & did people have the means for it, they explicitly desired or required art. While we often can't say if an individual piece was made for religious, entertainment or informational purpose the totality of prehistoric art was created for all of these reasons.
Thanks a lot for uploading all art episodes in one day, i will watch all of them ❤
This is awesome and worth savoring! Thanks. And then there's more. More art history keeps popping by Rick Steves.
Wow, I’ve been hoping to see this series uploaded for a while now! Really loved this video.
Thank you for making your amazing material about 'my' continent available outside the United States. They are an inspiration for me to explore further and a beautiful memory of the places I have been.
Love Rick's shows...this series on art is one of his best. Although I do hope these can help stop those idiots who believe "ancient aliens" built all the great human architecture in the distant past. Wake up idiots, we humans made all these great things!!!
Thank you rick and the camera crew for posting this episode. And all the episodes

Wow nice I love history ❤❤❤
So amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
Great video ❤❤ happy New year 💐💐💐💐
Your voice is so comfy! Thanks for uploading this series.
I could be wrong but I assume these were originally aired on television networks. I imagine this is why the episodes feel like a race, it's a shame Rick was unable to spend more time and show more work in each country he visited.
I love how some casual viewers think they know more than Rick. For the record: the pyramids were built as monuments to house the tombs of the pharaohs.
Thank you very much Please can you tell to me Story of color from begening
How are you doing sir ❤❤❤
Please explore India you will be mesmerized to see how rich India's cultural heritage is
mysterioso
Formidable
because they possessed self-reflective awareness
I want to learn Dutch so I need to talk to a native person,if there is someone who can helps me, please tells me 🙏
Good documentary, but the pyramids at Giza were not tombs. No mummies or artefacts and decorations connected with burial have ever been found in the Egyptian pyramids.
Goosd stuff, but i dont think it is established that the pyramids werw tombs.
What about Mesophotamia? Ignoring it is a Big mistake

History in this format is extremely condensed. There are other sources on YT about Mesopotamia. It is also condensed. Credit to this format for exposing parts of history most people are not aware of. It sparks interest and imagination.
the great pyramid was not a tomb.
Khufu building the pyramid is😂😂😂
Please next time help people with pronunciation COMPO-SI- TI -ON 🎤
How can you visit Israel and Palestine and not discuss the peace process and the Oslo peace agreement ?
