A series of petroglyphs have been identified in the Alpine Lombardy region at over 3,000 meters (9842 feet), more than 7 years after they were found by a hiker from Como. Found on Pizzo Tresero (Valfurva) within the Stelvio National Park, the strange carvings were at the foot of the glacier of the same name. Radiocarbon dating and analysis pointed too the petroglyphs dating to the Middle Bronze Age, between 3,600 and 3,200 years ago. The location is currently a historical hotspot, as another paleontological find has just been reported in the same vicinity - a fossilized ecosystem dating back 280 million years, from the Paleozoic era, in the Orobie Valtellinesi Park! “15,000-year-old” Gobi Desert Petroglyphs Made By Ancient Turks?
