Examples from the newly discovered South American rock art
A vast region of ancient rock art, which possibly reflects mankind's intertwining with serpent symbolism, was been found in South America. What the article does not make clear is, why are we only finding out about this now?
"Archaeologists have discovered one of the world's largest collections of ancient art, showing giants and monsters walking the Earth.
"In a remote area of South America, a British-led research team has discovered more than a thousand prehistoric engravings – including the world's largest examples of prehistoric rock art. However, the archaeologists believe that the examples found so far are only the 'tip of a vast ancient artistic iceberg'– and that many more still await discovery.
"It's thought likely that the thousand-square-mile area (the size of Dorset) may well contain around 10,000 ancient engravings. The largest discovered so far is a 43-metre-long engraving of a giant serpent. Others portray giant centipedes, larger-than-life animals – and immense 10-metre-tall human-like figures.
"The engravings – discovered along the Colombia/Venezuela border – portray everything from stingrays and vultures to monkeys and crocodiles, from dogs and jaguars to turtles and frogs."
