10,000 year old painting on a cave in Brazil

During the monitoring of the white-lip boar in the uplands of Cerrado in Brazil, the scientists happened to discover an ancient painting on the inside of the cave.

The drawing shows animals like Tatu, bird or reptile, with geometric figures drawn on stone caves thousands of years ago.

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and a local partner, the Institute of Quita, Sol said, this picture has provided significant knowledge about rock art .

Explaining this amazing discovery, Dr. Alexine Keuroghlian, a researcher with the Brazilian WCS Program, said: 'We often work and research in areas far away from each other, so sometimes we have Interesting findings. But with this discovery it seems very important to have more knowledge about the history and culture of people in this area. '

According to the painting above, Professor Aguiar said that this picture clearly reflects what archaeologists call the Planalto tradition (of the central highlands of Brazil).

More surprisingly, they are similar to the drawings of Nordeste and Agreste in northeastern Brazil.

Professor Aguiar hoped that the area of ​​the cave would be excavated and the geology could be excavated in this area to have a more complete and clear explanation of the painting.

Dr. Julie Kunen, director of Latin America of WCS and the Caribbean Program and a Mayan archaeologist, said: "The findings of cave drawings will emphasize the importance of protecting protect the Cerrado and Pantanal ecosystems both in their cultural and natural heritage ".
