MEXICO: Ancient Rock Art in Baja California Sur from 7,000 Years Ago

In the mountains and caves around the town of Loreto are paintings from centuries ago. 

Carbon dating on some of these paintings indicate that they were created by indigenous civilizations in the Baja California Peninsula of Mexico up to 7,000 years ago. 

The Baja murals represent one of the largest concentrations of rock art in the Americas. Some are the oldest and largest panels of rock art in the world. 

UNESCO has declared the caves World Heritage Sites.
