A newly recorded set of rock carvings in Venezuela’s Monagas state is being described as potentially among the country’s oldest known examples of rock art, with an estimated age ranging from 4,000 to 8,000 years. The petroglyph panel - marked by spirals, concentric circles and human-like forms - was located in a highland area of the Quebrada Seca community in Cedeño, and local officials are now pushing for formal certification and protection, reports Heritage Daily. If the early age range holds up under scientific study, the discovery could reshape how researchers think about early symbolic traditions in eastern Venezuela.
