It hasn’t always been this rainforest.” While research on the site has been interrupted due to the pandemic, the team believes the nearby rainforest hides more prehistoric wonders to be discovered. I don’t think people realize that the Amazon has shifted in the way it looks. The image of the bison figure is not only contour, but also three-dimensional: all the bulges of its massive mascara are. There is no question of any 'childrens scribbles' of primitive man here. She says, “One of the most fascinating things was seeing ice age megafauna because that’s a marker of time. A wounded buffalo from the ceiling of the Altamira cave. For Ella Al-Shamahi-the archaeologist and explorer who also serves as the host of Jungle Mystery-the rock art is an exciting find that will take years for scholars to document and research.
The Amazon rainforest as we know it today began to develop at the end of the last Ice Age-roughly the period the rock art was created. The cliff art preserves a world which was in environmental flux. The researchers believe structures such as these may explain how the ancient artists painted scenes well above a typical human's height on the cliff wall. Among the behaviors depicted is a curious one: humans suspended or jumping from wooden towers.

However, they are sure that the Serranía de la Lindosa paintings will provide critical knowledge of prehistoric human behavior and human-animal interactions. Archeologist Mark Robinson said in a statement, “The paintings give a vivid and exciting glimpse the lives of these communities.” Researchers studying the paintings can only guess at the significance of certain scenes at present. In the ancient artwork, prehistoric humans are also depicted. These creatures roamed a savanna and scrub brush landscape which was quite different from the modern rainforest.
The area also boasts extinct prehistoric creatures such as palaeolama, mastodons, and giant sloths. Fish, lizards, and porcupines are recognizable to the modern viewer. Drawn in red-ochre (a natural clay pigment), prehistoric humans are depicted among the flora and fauna which once populated the Amazon region. Researchers were awed by the sheer number of individual paintings-as yet uncounted, they number in the tens of thousands. A five-hour trek on foot was also necessary to reach the site. To study the cliffs of Serranía de la Lindosa, archeologists needed to clear their mission with both the Colombian government and the unallied rebel forces in the region.
