rocks covered with drawings stand amidst a chaos of stones and mountains. There are more

than 4,000 rock drawings left by artists of the Neolithic period. They depict the customs

of ancient tribes, hunting scenes and dances, the way they filled the ground, their

everyday life. The range of themes is wide and the vividness with which they are executed
