A Colombian-English team of archaeologists recently came upon a huge cache of rock art in the Amazon that shows humans and mastodons.
Archaeologists recently discovered eight miles of painted rock face in the Colombian Amazon, sited along the Guayabero River. The Colombian and English researchers studying the works suspect that there could be upward of 100,000 individual paintings on 17 walls, dating from the time when humans first arrived in South America and then traveled through Central America.
