Video by @bertiegregory. After our expedition team discovered a set of ancient paintings at the base of a huge cliff in Chiribiquete National Park, we landed the helicopter on top of the cliff and I flew our drone down for a closer look. @alejosanchezsanchez and @jota_arango then prepared their ropes for a massive repel. When Alejo reached the bottom, he discovered the panel was much bigger than we had thought stretching 150m long and 8m high. After seeing the paintings, he then had one mighty climb ahead of him- follow @bertiegregory to see the story unfold!
Carlos Castaño Uribe, our expedition leader and the man who discovered the first paintings in Chiribiquete National Park, has found that of all the animal depictions, only the jaguars have open mouths. Dating these paintings is difficult as the paint itself doesn't contain any carbon (it's an iron oxide based paint). Instead, the archaeology team collects the remains of the fires (carbon containing) at the base of these painting walls. These fires were used to prepare the walls for painting so give a good indication of the age of the paintings themselves. The carbon dating results from a previous expedition by this group suggested the paintings could be up to 20,000 years old making them some of the earliest evidence of humans in the Amazon.
This video is an extract from an expedition with @fundacion_herencia, an incredible group of people doing real 21st century exploration. It’s very humbling to know that there are still places on this planet we know almost nothing about. But despite it’s remoteness, it is still under threat. It’s so vital that we find a way to protect Chiribiquete National Park, its pristine rainforest, these amazing paintings and the uncontacted people who live here.
We owe a huge thanks to Parks Colombia and the Colombian Ministry of Culture for their support. For more on this place, read @stevewinterphoto 's jaguar story in this month's @ナショナルジオグラフィック Magazine. Also stayed tuned for our jaguar TV show for @natgeowild premiering in the US on December 10th.
