All are welcome to post in this section, even Geico Cavemen.
A couple of caveats-- (1) racism has no place in this forum, and (2) please show a little discretion. In other words, if an attachment violates policy on the rest of TWEB, it violates policy in this forum as well, even if it depicts a highly interesting and unique aspect of some obscure culture. Keep it reasonably clean, folks.

Surprising that it could survive at all in a tropical rain forest but I guess some others like this have been found in Columbia and Panama.
I'm always still in trouble again

Here's another article about the find but they're saying that it isn't 8 miles long but 2.5 -- which is still pretty darn long: More than 2.5 miles of cliff paintings found hidden in the Amazon rainforest show ancient hunter-gatherers killing Ice Age creatures

What amazes me tremendously of this discovery is the hazards they had to go over to reach them. If not the hostile fauna in Amazonian Colombia, the paramilitary/criminal organizations that run amoc in those regions pose a great hazard in reaching those sites.

Seeing those very illustrations on those scales, absolutely jaw-dropping. Finding material cultural that is Pre-Muisca (The dominant peoples of that region prior to European contact) is fascinating!

~2.5 miles is equivalent to ~13 kilometers in the Spanish news article.
Finally found an article that stated it's exact location. It is in Chiribiquete National Park. Turns out that place is LOADED with rock art from all kinds of eras (latest dated art was 15th century)! But this latest discovery is definitely the big kahuna of the rock art of Chiribiquete. Love the nickname "Sistine Chapel of the Amazons" it is been given.

It seems virtually every story I read says it's 8 miles but they are all pretty much quoting each other.

Iriarte's comment "It is likely art was a powerful part of culture and a way for people to connect socially" is somewhat speculative. We have no idea what motives lay behind such depictions, nor do we know if the creators considered what they depicted to be "art".
I must admit that the frequent hand-prints found across many such ancient sites never cease to be profoundly affecting."It ain't necessarily so

Certainly another important find and which gives information on the type of fauna and flora that these people knew. However, while a fascinating discovery, it is still comparatively recent when considered against the approximated datings of other human creative depictions found in various parts of the world.

1. Simply put some dry pigment (powder) in a tube and blow it onto the hand as it's up against the rock. In fact you can even put the powder directly into the front of the mouth, just behind the lips, and do it as well.
