Why art is important:

Did you know that when a country is overtaken by war that some leaders assign a special unit to steal all of the artifacts? Indigenous cultures all around the globe have had to deal with invaders. When this happens, customs and cultures often merge into the appearance of the inhabitants. To find truth in historical facts, a historian must examine art. The expressions of indigenous cultures create a timeline for all mankind to connect the dots and understand their natural origins. Art plays an important role when extracting the facts about history.
