About Mask Wallpapers

The first stop of our tour, where we will focus on the place of the mask in cultures and societies, is the mythology of the Pueblo Indians in the southwest of today's USA. The narrative begins with "the souls of native children lost in a river during the ancestral migrations."

The locals, exhausted from losing their children, told the Kaçinas, "Let us represent you in the villages with masks and dances. He develops rituals with masks representing these spirits at certain times of the year to be able to say, "Don't come from the other world."

Claude Levi-Strauss, one of the masters of anthropology who carried these great myths into modern times, does not say that these are the first masks in history but points out that this phenomenon is the root story of today's Santa Claus.

The tradition of the Navaho tribe in Arizona tells us that the connection between masked adults and children is a form of "acceptance" and "education" in society: In these societies, childhood is a world apart. Children are not allowed into rites of passage like puberty. Children are not allowed to see specific religious figures without their ostentatious masks, thus making them mistaken for spirits.

Although no archaeologist can explain precisely when and how the mask was invented, the oldest known examples are dated to the Neolithic Age. The 9,000-year-old stone masks found in the Yehuda Desert in the 1980s are considered the faces of important people of the time.

The mask is an item designed by people in many different ways and used in many different geographies and cultures, indicating both religious and personal status.

The world's oldest known mask belongs to Agamemnon, the King of Mycenae in Greek mythology.
