Rock paintings Guaviare Colombia

[davholla]

This art was done over a long period of time - not much is known about who did it, but it was not a local current indigenous tribe. We were told that there it was probably done by a nomadic tribe as there is similar in other parts of Colombia. There is is one painting of Megatherium a long extinct species of sloth.

Nice examples. It is interesting how rock art is so similar all over the world. These look like examples I have seen all over the desert southwest in the US, and also to examples I have seen here in Thailand.

Looks similar to some of the rock art here in Australia.

I wonder if that is because of the available technology.
