This impressive rock art sits four miles up a remote rocky canyon—reaching it makes for a nice day-hike. What's remarkable is that this image is ~30 feet (9m) above the canyon floor and is part of a larger, weatherworn panel. The holes in the hands and feet and the bug-eyes are characteristic of this artist's style. This artist may have created other Barrier Canyon Style panels nearby, for example: mastodon.social/@PJ_Woods/1144.

Why do medieval coins look simpler than ancient coins? It's not just that the Roman Empire had fallen and it took a thousand years to get back to the same level of technology, as we often hear. Classical Numismatics dives into it and explains: youtube.com/watch?v=vj_13kelQW

Cave paintings. Burial chambers. Millennia of mystery.

Hidden in the hills of Alentejo, the Gruta do Escoural is Portugal’s only known site of Paleolithic cave art, and it was later used as a Neolithic necropolis.

🎥 I got special permission to film inside. Come with me and explore this incredible place.

Rock climbers discovered this Barrier Canyon Style rock art panel in southeastern Utah decades ago (full panel not shown). Although exposed to the elements for over a 1,000 years the art is still vibrant. The central figure (~5 ft./1.5m tall) may be an animal with human legs and feet. Barrier Canyon Style art often features these human-animal mixes, which backs up the popular theory of shamanic correlations.

Desvendando o mural perdido de Huaca Pintada no Peru: Um tesouro artístico de 1.000 anos

No coração do #Peru, uma equipe de arqueólogos fez uma descoberta: um amplo mural pré-hispânico que ficou escondido por mais de um século.

Essa impressionante obra de arte, que se acredita ter cerca de 1.000 anos de idade, combina os estilos dos povos Moche e Lambayeque e retrata uma procissão de guerreiros em direção a uma divindade parecida com um pássaro.

O #mural já fez parte do templo Huaca Pintada e agora foi redescoberto, oferecendo um vislumbre da rica herança cultural do Peru pré-colombiano.

I've seen coitus or birthing scenes, they're rare, but this is the first time I've seen them side-by-side like this. It makes clear the cause and effect. The wavy glyph on the right is much longer than it looks here, probably about ten times the length shown. Ancestral Puebloan, Southeastern Utah.
