Ancient Cave Drawings Discovered in Brazil
Conservationists accidentally discovered ancient cave drawings in Brazil thought to be made by hunter-gatherer societies thousands of years ago.
The Wildlife Conversation Society was working in the southern region of Brazil in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul when the cave art was discovered. Specifically the discoveries were made in Brazil’s Pantanal and Cerrado biomes that contain the world’s largest inland wetland and large swaths of savannah.
The rock art was actually discovered in 2009 and only recently announced in the Brazilian journal ‘Clio Arqueologica.’
Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and several local conservation groups were tracking the white-lipped peccaries (pig-like animal of the wild) when it came upon a series of sandstone formations with caves containing the ancient drawings. The drawings thought to be 4,000-to-10,000 years old were of animals and geometric figures.
The cave depictions include drawings of armadilllos, birds, cats, deer and reptiles. According to WCS the find is significant in that “the renderings, adds significantly to our knowledge of rock art from the Cerrado plateau region that borders the Pantanal.”
Regional cave drawing experts were called in who concluded the drawings were made by hunter-gatherer societies that either lived in the caves or just used the caves to draw. The drawings are consistent with Planalto and Nordeste style drawings.
The Nordeste (northeast) style endured over 6,000 years, during which painting techniques evolved, from a use of fingers to a more refined use of brushes made from animal fur and plants.
