Prehistoric caves
Archaeologists have discovered drawings of hands in prehistoric caves in Santander, Spain. These drawings are a testament to the ancient practice of palmistry, which dates back more than 12,000 years. Archaeologists have found evidence of hand drawings in stone, wood, ivory, and other materials. The earliest written records of palmistry date back to 1420 B.C., when the word palmistry was included in the Assembly of Gods Documents. Hippocrates and Galen both knew the importance of palmistry and recorded its uses in their writings.
