Rock Art in Romania

Tens of petroglyphs, some dating back as far as the late paleolithic have been discovered by an amateur photographer on the shores of the Somes river. They depict hunting scenes, triangles, crosses, spears, arrows, and altars.

The exact location is kept secret for now to avoid the old paintings to be vandalized. The location given here is for the nearest town.
