Priest's Cave
Priest's Cave submitted by mfrincu : Solar deity or spirit. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Rock Art in Romania

The cave, located at the entry of the Sohodol Gorges contains several pictographs depicting anthropomorphic figures. The paintings were discovered in the late 80s by a small team of archaeologists. Two are perfectly preserved with others' clearly eroded by time. According to researchers the figures may depict solar deities.

The entry to the small cave is located on the left hand side of the gorges and requires a bit of a climb on a a barely visible trail and steep terrain. Modern graffiti is visible. The pictographs are covered in calcite making them a little bit difficult to be seen.
