Researchers debate if drawings depict extinct creatures like giant sloths and mastodons, or horse-like figures from the time of Spanish invaders.
the authors of the study as having first discovered the rock art at La Lindosa in recent years, when Indigenous people still lived in the area.
For starters, he believes the horse-like figure likely depicts a European steed. Cows and a bull seem to surround the horse depiction, he says — another animal that only arrived with the Europeans. As for the giant sloth, he believes it could represent a capybara — a large rodent still found widely in South America today.
Urbina doesn’t completely contest the idea that some of the rock art dates back more than 10,000 years — he also believes that the painting went on for millennia. He just doesn’t think this series of paintings are that old.
