New Episode!
There are moments in science when the world cracks open just a little—and we get a glimpse into something ancient, powerful, and utterly human.
That’s exactly what we’re diving into in the latest episode of the PaleoPost Podcast: “Exploring Colombia’s Ancient Rock Art: Secrets of the Amazon’s Painted Cliffs.”
Thousands of vivid red figures stretch across the white cliff faces of Colombia’s Serranía de la Lindosa, deep in the heart of the Amazon. These rock paintings—some dating back more than 12,000 years—aren’t just beautiful. They’re testaments to deep human memory, and they whisper stories of animals, rituals, migration, and connection with the land.
In this episode, I unpack what we know so far about these remarkable panels:
🖐️ Who painted them and why?
🦜 What can they tell us about the earliest people of the Amazon?
🪨 And what does it all mean for the bigger picture of human origins and imagination?
This is one of those discoveries that reminds us just how far-reaching, creative, and sophisticated our ancestors were—and how much we still have to learn.
🧠✨ If you’re as fascinated by ancient art, archaeology, and the deep history of human expression as I am, then this one’s for you.
