Archaeologists have meticulously mapped a series of ancient rock art located along the Upper and Middle Orinoco River in Venezuela and Colombia. These captivating masterpieces, featuring both human and animal motifs, are situated along an essential trade and travel route known as Atures Rapids. The researchers believe the strategic positioning of these engravings was intentional, serving as a means of marking territory and asserting dominance. The largest of these engravings, measuring an impressive 138 feet in length, remains a remarkable enigma, with its creators shrouded in mystery. However, the subject matter, which prominently features snakes and anacondas, aligns with the beliefs and mythology of indigenous groups in the region, suggesting a deep connection with their cultural heritage.
