"Unveiling the Secrets of Rock Archaeology: Exploring the Enigmatic CAMUNI Petroglyphs on Permian Sandstone" Step into a world frozen in time as we delve into the captivating realm of rock archaeology. The CAMUNI petroglyphs, etched onto Permian sandstone, offer us a mesmerizing glimpse into ancient civilizations and their rich tapestry of life. Amongst these enigmatic carvings, we encounter Rock n. 23, an intriguing figure depicting a four-wheeled carriage drawn by horses. This remarkable artwork transports us back to an era where horse-drawn transportation was at its zenith. Further exploration reveals figures of quadrupedal beings engaged in duels and hunting scenes. These intricate depictions showcase the prowess and survival instincts of our ancestors who thrived amidst nature's challenges. As we continue our journey through time, human figures emerge alongside animals wielding spears and village buildings taking shape before our eyes. These vivid portrayals provide invaluable insights into early societies' daily lives - their hunts for sustenance and their efforts to establish thriving communities. The CAMUNI petroglyphs also introduce us to warriors with spears accompanied by loyal canine companions - a testament to the deep bond between humans and animals throughout history. One particularly striking carving showcases a majestic figure adorned with deer antlers atop his head - believed to represent Cernunnos, the god associated with fertility and abundance. This awe-inspiring depiction allows us to connect with ancient beliefs that revered nature's power. The technique employed in creating these masterpieces is equally fascinating; "hammer" engraving involved tapping stones or metal tools against Permian sandstone surfaces, resulting in delicate circular concavities that have stood the test of time. Venturing further towards Naquane's Great Rock, we are greeted by mazes symbolizing journeys through life intertwined with waterbirds gracefully gliding across eternity.
