In this thesis, the author writes about fine art and cave paintings from palaeolithic era which, acording to different researchers, show certain astronomical attributes. The artefacts are divided in chapters according to specific astronomical phenomena and also women's menstrual cycle, which follows the moon's rythm. Ethnographic comparisons from more recent eras and from different parts of the world are listed besides the interpretations of astronomical phenomena and are crucial for their understanding. In addition to the interpretations, the problems of the archaeoastronomical field are also described.
