Archaeological and artistic monuments discovered in a range of places from the Iberian Pensinsula to China demonstrate the importance of the bovidae in human civilisations dating back to the Neolithic Age. They were represented 14.000 years ago in the Pileta Cave, 8 kms from Ronda, and subsequently in the Lascaux Cave in the French Dordogne region. Along the eastern coast of Spain they were worshipped before great stone shelters. Bullfighting rituals were held at the foot of the fortification walls of ancient Sumerian cities during the third millennium BC.
