Prehistoric Paintings Discovered on Sidewalk
Recently, I came upon an interesting discovery here in San Miguel de Allende. I was stopped on my tracks by what appeared to be prehistoric paintings created by an ancient civilization. Perhaps one can classify these unusual renderings as Parietal Art ...the archaeological term given to prehistoric art found in caves or on large blocks of stone.
These remarkable paintings were inscribed on a concrete sidewalk. A sidewalk leading to a local shopping center on the outskirts of town. The primary symbol....a primitive interpretation of the human form.... appeared to have served as guide as if to direct human foot traffic.
Perhaps the National Geographic Society will follow-up on this new finding.
