Hidden in the Amazon rainforest is an 8-mile art canvas, covering over 12,600 years of ice age rock carvings.
The amazingly well-preserved work of art depicts mastodonts, giant sloths and other extinct animals.
The rocks captures information about thousands of men and animals who have not roamed the continent for at least 12,000 years.
The discovery was made by a team of archaeologists in the Chiribiquete National Park in 2019, but it was kept secret for months to allow for the area to be fully secured.
Experts believe that the vastness of painting is such that it will take several generations to study them all.
The discovery was significant not only because of its age but also due to the well-preserved state of the artwork, which offers valuable insights into the prehistoric life and environment of the Amazon. It indeed took some time for the findings to be publicly announced, partly to ensure the protection and preservation of the site. The vastness and richness of the paintings suggest that it will take several generations of study to fully understand their context and significance.
World History, and the history of the accomplishments of mankind is far more interesting than anything you have been told.
There are probably lots of “tourist attractions” in Africa too that we haven’t found yet, which will create jobs. Never look down on yourself.
