摘要
The incredible ancient rock art at Serranía La Lindosa in Colombia is a truly beautiful canvass containing humans, animals, nature, symbols and more, art that is seen across 8 miles of land, and according to a new study by the University of Exeter, linked below, the huge canvass of rock art displays examples of now-extinct megafauna.
Many of these animals disappeared during or after the Younger Dryas climate catastrophe, when the Earth was plunged into another Ice Age and include a giant sloth, a gomphothere, a Hippidion, a Palaeolama, a Macraucheniid and more.
If radiocarbon dating comes back to prove the age of the rock art, we are looking at a picture of South America 12,600 years ago, at the beginning of the Younger Dryas, showing us how man and megafauna co-existed, how the huge animals were viewed by our ancestors at a time when humans were beginning to populate South America on a larger scale.
