Easy there, before you start foaming. In case you blacked out after the first paragraph, they mentioned that site.
> The site is in the Serranía de la Lindosa where, along with the Chiribiquete national park, other rock art had been found. The documentary’s presenter, Ella Al-Shamahi, an archaeologist and explorer, told the Observer: “The new site is so new, they haven’t even given it a name yet.”
- wyck 6y agoTo be honest the title is a bit sensationalist (Sistine chapel ..ya that's a journalist), its from the twitter of a TV show host not a scientist. The whole area is famous for rock art and has been documented since the pre 1940's. Tens of thousands of district rock art has been found here for decades, this exact area has been under excavation since 2015, but was previously excavated in 1989. Some of the site names are Angosturas II, Limoncillos, and Cerro Montoya. Oh and the very photo's published in the link are not new , there are articles from before 2018 showing the exact same image..
