Tens of Thousands of 12,000-Year-Old Rock Paintings Found in Colombia
In 2018, Colombia Reports told the world that the prehistoric rock art has been declared a protected site. Now national authorities are working alongside the Guaviare governor’s office to try to find a way to make the archaeological site and the nature park around it accessible to the public.
The British wildlife filmmaker Slee was the first European to film the art, from a helicopter. He was making a movie titled Colombia: Wild Magic and was exploring the South American country for scenes. He made the movies Bugs! 3D and The Flight of the Butterflies .
There were reports of the rock art in the Cerro Campana area of Chiribiquete, and other paintings have been photographed in other parts of Chiribiquete, but the paintings Slee found were new to modern people.
