New dating of cave art reveals history of Puerto Rican people [that is, former Puerto Rican people]

Angel Acosta-Colon (shown here) poses with a number of pictographs, including an unusual find—an animal that looks like a lion. He speculates that this may be the first cave art drawn by slaves that were brought to the island during Spanish colonization.

The pictoglyphs are easy to translate. “I like the isle of Manhattan. Smoke that in your pipe and put that in.”

They landed on the island and then all moved to New York to work as an extra on West Side Story.

Looks as though they were making preliminary drawings to stage The Lion King Musical. :-)

I didn’t realize that Puerto Ricans were graffitiing things up so far back.

These types of drawings continued throughout the next century, extending through European colonization (around 1500 CE), and include images of horses, ships

The level of details on these drawings is impressive, such as the fuzzy dice hanging from the horses' necks.

those petroglyphs don’t look all that old. They look like something a couple of kids drew. (could be just me.)
