I mean, Name of the second file is actually " Gravures Rupestres dites Peiro Escrito "... Your site gives an adresse 3 kms further, but as the engravings are situated on stones bording an ancient trackway, you shouldn't bother...

Hello,
I suggest to delete this file because there are two about the same place, the "Peyro Escrito" from Olargues, and this one gives a better information about the place. I've been viiting this site and It appeared to me, -as well as to the scientists specailists of such engravings-, that they were made during the Muddle Age.
Very interesting, whatsoever ! But certainly nothing to do with cups and rings, crossbows, footmarks or snakes that I've been happy to see in the Caroux Mountain, just in front...
Regards,
