Recently I read an article that talks about the discovery of new petroglyphs in Venezuela, specifically in the Orinoco River, in a place called rapids of Atures, formed by a group of islets, in the middle of the river, mostly covered with water.
In Venezuela many engravings (petroglyphs) have been discovered, but these were hidden due to the position that were located at the top of enormous stones, difficulting their visualization.
On December 6th archaeologists from University College of London, investigated the 5 islets using drones, which allowed to obtain great images
I believe that the importance of this discovery not only is the age (2000 years), their discoverers said they are the largest in the world; there is a snake with horns that measure 30 meters long.
