EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient rock art found in the Coa Valley Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Vila Nova de Foz Coa, Portugal. The image features two majestic horses and two male ibex depicted through intricate engravings on the rocky surface. These prehistoric carvings date back to the Upper Paleolithic era, offering us a glimpse into the rich history of this region. The attention to detail in these rock engravings is truly remarkable, as every line and curve brings these animals to life. The horses exude strength and grace, their muscular bodies captured with precision by our photographer Mauricio Abreu. Standing alongside them are two male ibexes, their impressive horns adding an element of power to this ancient artwork. As we admire this iconic piece of heritage, it's hard not to be transported back in time. This archaeological site holds immense significance for understanding our ancestors' lives and their deep connection with nature. It serves as a reminder that long before modern civilization emerged, humans were already leaving their mark on the world around them. Visiting this extraordinary tourist attraction allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill of our ancestors and the natural beauty of Southern Europe's landscape. As we explore these prehistoric monuments at Coa Valley Archaeological Park, we are reminded of how far humanity has come while also recognizing that our roots lie firmly embedded within history itself.
