Sitting atop small hills in the Konkan region, they’ve become known as the Konkan petroglyphs.
The Konkan petroglyphs went unnoticed by many for thousands of years, hidden beneath layers of soil and mud.
The initial discovery took place 2012.

We have not found any pictures of farming activities.
But the images depict hunted animals and there’s detailing of animal forms.
So this man knew about animals and sea creatures.

That indicates he was dependent on hunting for food.
Now, the Konkan petroglyphs are on the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The carvings feature both land and sea animals, birds, human figures, and geometrical designs.
