Since prehistoric times, sculptures were an experimental art for humans to express beauty and interact with nature and religion. The ancient cultures of Egypt and Mesopotamia made great sculptural artworks. Their sculptures are monolithic with a great ritual significance and are beyond visual contemplation. For Native Americans however, their artworks were a way of gratitude to nature creating a superb and complicated technique with a unique style.
