Several ancient and newer rock paintings, human burials in caves and cup marks respectively mortars were found by scientist in the canyons and on the hills of the Makay Massif in Madagascar.

The paintings are showing crosses, building like paintings, geometric shapes, animals like cattle and human beings such as shamans with an antler. The large island of Madagascar was populated around 200 CE until 300 BCE. Some of the paintings could be around 2000 years old. For more informations see:
