PETROGLYPHS OF OMO MOQUEGUA PERU

The Omo Petroglyphs, located in the Moquegua region of Peru, are a set of pre-Columbian rock carvings dating back thousands of years. These artistic representations are distributed over a large area and show geometric, zoomorphic, anthropomorphic figures and various scenes of the daily life of the ancient cultures that inhabited the region.

The Omo petroglyphs are of great archaeological importance, as they provide valuable information about the beliefs, customs and activities of ancient civilizations. These stone engravings have been preserved over time thanks to the resistance of the rock and the natural protection provided by their location in remote and difficult-to-access areas.

Researchers have identified in the Omo petroglyphs representations of animals, human figures, geometric designs and scenes that could be related to religious rituals, agricultural activities and artistic manifestations of a symbolic nature.

The preservation and protection of these petroglyphs is essential to understand and appreciate the cultural wealth of the ancient civilizations that populated the Moquegua region in the past. Its study and dissemination should be encouraged to value the archaeological heritage of Peru and promote its conservation for future generations.
