ENCORE: On this episode we talk to Dr. Tirtha Mukhopadhyay about his career in rock art. From his homeland of Calcutta, India, to continued graduate studies in Texas, and his current research working out of Guanajuato University in Mexico. They take a deep dive into the mysteries surrounding the relationships of science and religion. Our guest scholar provides up to date thinking on how our minds process images and create emotions relating to our understanding of deities. We delve into just what rock art images mean and how they affect the emotional states of its viewers. Finally, we provide some working hypotheses on what those animal-human figures depicted in prehistoric rock art communicate in terms of their compound metaphors as shamans, ancestors, and deities.
