I don't know - seems suspect. If those carvings were made 2,000 to 5,000 years ago, and have been worn by river water for that long (not to mention rain), wouldn't those carvings have been worn away by now?

thats an odd carving.. and is that gold? I dont know what picture it is, bad browser, and havent looked at all of them, but small square face, and that really looks like gold

Cool post, thanks for sharing. The artwork looks like a primitive Bender from Futurama.

They look to me like rocks that were above water till under cut and then they fell in.
this a common thing on a water course, they do that continiously.

Yeah, strange squared faces. Its Bender indeed

My question is, if they could draw circles, why draw squared faces?

I think its water reflections...

It certainly is intriguing the square face. I tried digging but I came up short.
I couldnt find any evidence of square faces in other cultures. does anybody know of any?

Toyah. Illuminati puppet?

There was a post these days that shows a rupest picture of what appears to be a ufo and a creature with a suit and a squared helmet.
