FfFfFfFF 58,135 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Archaeologists have resumed an expedition to map ancient rock art along the Pegtymel River in the remote Chukotka Autonomous Okrug of Russia. The study was re-commenced by the Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences to create an accurate map of rock art monuments linked to satellite data. The petroglyphs are located in Western Chukotka and are the northernmost in Asia, and are the only location of rock carvings located beyond the Arctic Circle. The Pegtymel petroglyphs depict images of people, hunting scenes, deer, bears, dogs, wolves, artic foxes, birds, whales, and seals. Despite decades of research, the new petroglyph demonstrates that there is likely many more petroglyphs yet to be discovered Source - https://www.heritagedaily.com/2021/10/reindeer-petroglyph-discovered-during-mapping-expedition-of-ancient-rock-art/141550 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
