Rock Art of Timna Valley - StoneWatch

62
These are engravings of the finding place position 1, with lines retraced for better visibility and
accessible to tourists, on a surface of 5 meters in length and 2 meters in height and about 2
meters above an accumulation of crushed stone and gravel at the bottom of the southern mine
walls. The gravel is perhaps the debris of a collapsed rock and forms an 8 meters high heap of
material above the present ground level which must have been situated much higher in the old
times. The depictions are systematically done obviously not under any spontaneous impetus. It
cannot be decided whether they are made by one or several artists.
