Szamanizm jako religia w relacji ze sztuką naskalną
Shamanism as Religion in Relationship with Rock Art

Summary/Abstract: Examining beliefs and cult objects from the perspective of an archaeologist is not an easy task because of the small number of written sources or lack thereof. It is difficult to interpret artifacts that are presumably not just functional. These are the arts and religion. The degree of difficulty of analyzes devoted to beliefs increases when we deal with illiterate culture. It is also not surprising that skepticism and restraint with regard to the analysis and interpretation of symbols, beliefs and rituals. One of the interesting research questions that archaeologists are dealing with is rock art. At present, its rise and interpretation are connected with shamanistic theory. It is recognized as a belief system, a kind of religion with cosmogony (A. Rozwadowski, 2012). The text is an attempt to answer the question of the earliest religion. Can shamanism be regarded as form of the religion and its relationship with the art of rock paleolithic?
