The archaeologists found about 50 petroglyphs age 14 thousand years in the cave of Armine located under the building in the centre of Lekeitio (a municipality in the Basque Country).
The figures reach 150 cm In two panels 30 depicts animals – horses, bison, lions and goats – and a few dozen lines and half circles. “It’s a miracle, a treasure of humanity” – said the representative of the Biscay Unai Rementeria.
Findings will be discussed at the Congress at the end of the month. Cave is well known to locals, but nobody came to her so deeply to discover patterns.
Earlier this year archeologists have found in Northern Spain in the cave of Atxurra another 70 images, dated to 14 500 years.
