Graffiti has existed since the dawn of time as the cavemen painted pictures of animals, battles and themselves on the walls of their homes in the caves of Africa and Europe

Red, yellow, brown, black and purple pigments were created from minerals. Paintbrushes weren't available, so pigments may have been applied with moss or hair, and also applied by blowing through sticks or bones.

Different styles of this art form can be found in ruins of ancient Greece, wall structures in Syria, Jordan, and even Thailand. Romans wrote on walls and monuments.

Graffiti can be anything from simple scratch marks, to writings in pen, or large wall murals with paint.

From the Mayans in Guatemala to the Vikings of Scandinavia, the soldiers of Napoleon to the pioneers on the Oregon Trail, they all left their mark along their routes of travel forever preserving their accomplishments and lifestyles for the future civilizations of the world to see.
