Quite a few links here. The last link in particular has lots of photos….
What is likely the most spectacular site of pictographic rock art in the entire Western Hemisphere, has been found in the Colombian Amazon. Up to 12,500 years old, with images of extinct animals. Literally tens of thousands of images in red ochre: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/nov/29/sistine-chapel-of-the-ancients

Thanks very much for bringing this amazing discovery to our attention. Another amazing thing to me that these paintings are actually not cave paintings but paintings on what seems to be an exposed cliff side on what looks to be a mesa and that they did not become obliterated by the elements for the thousands of years they have been in existence. I wish exterior house paint that is available on the market was anywhere near that good. lol

I could never get enuf of this; I’m so glad for another helping!! Here more photos:

I read that there is Ice Age horse among animals so clearly painted that can see hairs on a face that archeologist described as “wild and heavy”. Of course, I can’t find where read this, nor ever been able find any photos of this horse. If anybody following articles re this runs across any pics of that particular rendering Ice Age equine ancestor, please, please share!
Also, haven't asked any arcane Qs lately, so will ask why this article calls these pictographs “cave paintings”? Is it thot maybe this massive cliff face was part of cave during ice age ? (But maybe author just didn’t thoroughly research coz references discovery date as 2019 when think several yrs earlier…..)
Hal has made me silly, too, so blue arrow points to clearly Ice Age cartoon bubble with what tiny yellowed creatures saying:
”Hurry Up Stanley, Bob! Run Run Run Faster Hank! We Appetizers this Smorgasbord!”

More info. about the location, and details of
Chiribiquete National Park – “The Maloca of the Jaguar”
*A maloca being an ancestral long house used by indigenous people of the Amazon, notably in Colombia and Brazil. Each community has a maloca with its own unique characteristics.
