Prehistoric man enjoyed a primitive version of cinema, according to Austrian and British researchers.
Rock engravings from the Copper Age found all over Europe in remote, hidden locations indicate the artwork was more than mere images, researchers from Cambridge University and Sankt Poelten's University of Applied Sciences in Austria say.
"The cliff engravings ... in our opinion are not just pictures but are part of an audiovisual performance," Frederick Baker of Cambridge University's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology said in a statement.
"There was still no moving image but (the pictures) created sequences like in animation ... This was not just a treat for the eyes but also for the ears, as these rock engravings are especially found in locations with particular echoes.
"In this sense, the rock engravings are not just static images but pictures that created a story in the mind of the viewer - just like at the cinema," said Mr Baker.

I hoping that people here can come up with some good, possible titles for these early "movies".
