Cave of the Hands

The Cave of the Hands is a prehistoric site located in Argentina, famous for its vivid wall paintings created around 13,000 to 9,000 years ago. Artists used natural pigments to produce stenciled outlines of human hands and other shapes, which are often found in groups, suggesting social or ritual significance. The site provides valuable insight into early human life, artistic expression, and cultural practices in South America. Its preserved artworks are considered some of the oldest known examples of human creativity in the region, offering a window into the lives and beliefs of ancient hunter-gatherer communities.
