Mapa de Abauntz, Prehistoric cave art site in Ultzama Valley, Spain.
The Abauntz Cave contains engravings of mountains, rivers, and hunting areas carved into stone blocks dating from the Upper Paleolithic period.
Archaeological excavations in 1993 revealed a 13,660-year-old stone block featuring the earliest known geographical map of mountains and waterways.
The cave holds numerous depictions of animals, human figures, and geometric patterns that represent the artistic expression of Paleolithic communities.
Access to the cave requires advance permission and guided tours are limited to protect the ancient artworks from environmental damage.
The stone map includes precise details of meandering rivers, tributaries, and mountain landscapes that match the actual geography around the cave.
