The Ruf aus der Altsteinzeit – Stiftung (Call from the Paleolithic – Foundation) was established in 2008 by the retired surveyor Hans Grams and in the same year was recognized as an independent and charitable foundation.
Since then, their aim has been to fight for
the rediscovery of a lost Stone Age culture

In the current teaching of prehistory research, art of the early Paleolithic is unfortunately not recognized (yet).

Timeline of human development in relation to the period for art is recognized

The preamble to the Foundation’s statutes therefore states:
„… The foundation is to be extinguished as soon as scientific archaeology recognizes the orientation and figure stones of the collection „
