    Ancient Petroglyphs

    Hi everyone! Today I will show you my unexpected finding.
    After first warm spring rains usually we go to the heels bush (but actually it’s a semi savanna) and mushroom hunting. There no interesting offroad just easy ride. This week was not warm enough so we found only 10 mushrooms. So we made bbq, and other relaxes. After dinner I decided climb to the nearest heel summit to take a few photos. On the top I unexpectedly found a few small petroglyphs. Then I climbed the other heels peak. So after a few hours of heel walking I took about 90 photos of petroglyphs. The most interesting pics I post for you now.

    PS. These petroglyphs are from Bronze Era and was made 3500-4000 years ago.

    PPS. I overburn some photos for better contrast ratio.

    Mate that is awesome,

    It's one of the great things about this forum, people and photos from all around the globe.

    Awesome to think all that time ago a dude was there with his family telling a story, Thats Gold in anyone book.
    WOW, That small rock on the ground would look good on coffee table. yes/no


    I take it they are antelope of some description, similar to Scimitar ??
    And blue sheep or ram

    Keep coming back here to look at the pics completely blows me away that 4000 odd yrs later
    Wine-maker is standing with his family telling a story, where all that time ago another family did the same
    thing in exactly the same spot.
    bit of a bummer about the Graffitti, not big on trees either in your part of the world hey

    May be next time I will find one to take home. Some of them are quite big and have many cracks so they cant be sawed without destroy of pics.
    I saw pics of mountain goats, camels, dogs, peoples, markhoors, deers, horses, boars, antelopes.
    This place are 170 km from mountains. In mountains we have big pine and spruce trees like these:

    Agree. If everyone take home a small part there is nothing to find for next generations.
