The first paleolithic (20.000-25.000 years ago) engravings on a rock formation found in Germany, so far!
A hiker discovered the engravings 22 years ago. He talked to archaeologists about his discovery three years ago who have confirmed the authenticity of the paleolithic art. The engravings show two large horses and one smaller one. They are engraved on a slate rock in an ancient Roman quarry and survived by accident.
