Thousands of rock art pictures depicting huge Ice Age creatures such as mastodons have been revealed by researchers in the Amazon rainforest.

The paintings were probably made around 11,800 to 12,600 years ago, according to a press release from researchers at Britain's University of Exeter.

The paintings are set over three different rock shelters, with the largest, known as Cerro Azul, home to 12 panels and thousands of individual pictographs.

Can’t wait for the comments how Satan has been busy with the brush again to fool those stupid old earthers.

Mastodons lived that far south? I thought it would be too hot for them.

Climate change is not new.

It was the Ice Age back then, so...

This isn't surprising to anyone who understands what a lie modern anthropology has become

Fascinating stuff.

For anyone interested, and who is in the UK, Channel 4 started a series last Saturday "Jungle Mystery: Lost Kingdoms of the Amazon". This coming Saturday (12 Dec) I think includes these (?) rock paintings. 7.30 pm.

There are ancient rock paintings in other parts of Brazil, such as in the Serra do Cipo area (100km NE of Belo Horizonte).
