Well, these are the wallpaintings from an archaeological site named Gruta del Espíritu Santo, It's on Corinto, Morazán Is the oldiest place that archaeologist have found in my country with wall paintings (pintura rupestre) and stone engravings (grabados en piedra) that have about 7000 years old. The culture that made them where nomads and the shaman (this person was related to cosmos and herbs) made the pictures!!!
We went to three caves: La Gruta del Espíritu Santo, the elf's cave (Cueva del duende) and the bull's cave (cueva del toro)!!
The pictures you can find here are antropomorphs with decorations on their heads, like making some ritual or worship, some flowers, symbols of fertility and birds. Nowadays you can't see most of the pictures cause there's a lot of cal, and the time made some damages! The pictures were made with natural pigments as cochinilla an insect that gives red color.
