Info

28 The engravings of the so-called Alfonso Cave are accessible for visitors only under official guidance. The Alfonso Cave, first mentioned in 1974, is formed by a boulder lying in an inclination of about 25° in east-west direction. On the upper surface of the stone there are three engravings to be classified as typical Timna stile. The engraving is pecked and shows an ibex with horns bending backward, and one doglike animal. The size of the depiction is 16 to 20 centimeters. The method of enchasing, its make and actual condition imply a more modern creation in comparison to the engravings underneath. They belong, together with the classical Timna pictures, to the intermediate period of the Stone-and-Copper Age (Eneolithic Era) 2800 years B.C. The original position of the stone and the cause and time of its tilting are not definitely investigated so far.
29 The bottom side of the boulder bears engravings minimum of four epochs. They consist of lines pecked in dots, solidly or in combination of the two methods. Overall view of the cliff with engravings right down to its footing and partly even up to 20 centimeters deep into the soil. Below, some punched holes as can be found with the classical Timna petroglyphs.
