Petroglyphs of Vigirima, Ancient archaeological site in Municipio Guacara, Venezuela.
The Petroglyphs of Vigirima feature extensive rock engravings across 304 square meters, containing 93 individual carvings depicting animals, humans, and ritual scenes.
These petroglyphs, dating back approximately 2,000 years, include astronomical representations that align with a total solar eclipse from 577 AD.
The rock art site displays considerable similarities with petroglyphic expressions found throughout northern South America, indicating regional cultural connections during pre-Columbian times.
Researchers utilize drones to document the petroglyphs due to their location in difficult-to-access areas along the terrain.
A notable engraving at the site depicts a horned snake measuring 30 meters in length, marking it as one of the largest individual petroglyphs in the region.
