It is probably the artistic-religious feeling which gave birth to the plastic arts and spectacular works.
Some of these works have already been found and date from a few millennia BC.
Thus the deep desire of man to record scenes which have impressed him and to transmit the memory of them comes from the highest antiquity.
However, artistic techniques, painting, drawing, sculpture and others, which continued to evolve, remained for a long time the prerogative of a privileged minority and almost all of them could not fully satisfy this desire to continue in the weather.
There was therefore a fundamental desire for everyone which was to seek a means allowing everyone to fix the moment as a memory, objective that time could not erase.
