The world is full of historical and natural wonders that we are yet to discover. One such archeological treasure was discovered by expert José Iriarte and his team from British Columbia.
The finding in question lies in a remote
part of the Amazon Rainforest called SerranÃa La Lindosa and consists of a
series of gorgeous and historically insightful cave
Admire the photographs of these cave paintings and rock art on an 8-mile cliff
in the Western Amazon Rainforest dubbed the Sistine Chapel of the Ancients in
the media.
These paintings, which have since been collectively christened "the
Sistine Chapel of the Ancients", stretch across an 8-mile cliff in the
middle of the forest and were likely created 12,500 years ago. This seemingly
simple collection of rock art depicts numerous different types of native
animals, some that are present today and many that have gone extinct.
Research suggests that these depictions were likely created by the earliest
civilizations of Western Amazonia. While there is so much to be learned from
these intricate images, there is also an immense amount of beauty to be taken
in. Just see for yourself and get lost in history!
Clancy's comment: Very interesting. Not as old as what we have in Australia but amazing just the same. What a find, eh?
I'm ...
Truly remarkable and humbling Clancy.
