Ancient Rock Art and Dinosaur Tracks Unearthed in Brazil

Brazilian archaeologists have discovered 2,000-year-old rock carvings in Jalapão State Park, Brazil, depicting human footprints, celestial-body-like figures, and animals. The carvings were found on rocky cliffs and suggest a possible connection between ancient communities in the region. The findings, which include engravings and red paintings, shed light on the symbolic repertoire of precolonial populations and may provide new information about their way of life and spirituality. The park faces threats such as erosion, vandalism, and deforestation, prompting plans to preserve and disseminate the region's archaeological heritage.
