Ancient human faces believed to have been carved into rock up to 2,000 years ago have been revealed in the Amazon.
The previously hidden petroglyphs were spotted on a riverbank after an extreme drought last week caused water levels to plummet to their lowest level in more than a century.
Most of the engravings on the River Negro – a major tributary of the Amazon – are of facial expressions, some smiling and others looking grim.
Several have been seen before but now there are a greater variety it should help to establish the origin of the carvings, experts say.
'The engravings are prehistoric, or precolonial. We cannot date them exactly, but based on evidence of human occupation of the area, we believe they are about 1,000 to 2,000 years old,' said archaeologist Jaime de Santana Oliveira.

Well it is pretty obvious that they were not under water when they were carved.
someone should carve that into a cave or cliff wall just so people in 5 or 10k years can be confused.
They lost a bundle, that real estate investment was underwater for a long time.
LOL
Probably too late to sue the seller or real estate professional who sold them that floodplain...
It was one of those Century 21 BC realtors...
LMAO-I’m sure those all went out of business the 1st time the area flooded and they got fined for non-disclosure/lying about the floodplain area...
“Well, I’ve never *known* it to rain hard enough to make the river rise...”
Nope.
If you read Darwin there are over 50 races.
Now granted I think Darwin was not totally correct but still if you look at it on the DNA level he is closer to correct than the idea of "three races".
It is silly to group the Aborigine in with the Twa or the Ainu with the Berber or the Tibetan with the Seminole.
Genetically they could not be further apart.
Scientifically-real science-not the feelgood pseudocrap begun in the late 20th-early 21st centuries-the pure races were only those 3, using the DNA from the earliest fossil record-which is what archaeologists use as a vehicle to chart human interaction and migration over the 10,000’s of 1000’s of years. Like I said-there are no pure races now-haven’t been since a bunch of Neanderthals met their first H Sapiens in Europe or in Asia-then those later cross-bred folks met their 1st Blacks from Africa-who never met the Neanderthals, and still don’t have any of their DNA.
Race has become a social construct, designed to divide people in the last couple of centuries-especially for political advantage-talking about race, race, race-it is all BS-there are no pure races-just a bunch of mixed race ethnic groups-so let’s call them that. But they all did come from the original 3 races with Asians and Caucasians having DNA from the 4th race-Neanderthals-and after 40,000 years, the race hustlers need to read some real science and just let it go...
Groups like La Raza are ignorant-I’m Hispanic-that is not a raza/race-I’m mostly Caucasian, with a bit of Native American-and even that is a mixed race-there were never any racially pure Native Americans, according to the archaeological record and DNA from studied remains-they were already mixed Asian and Caucasian when they got here-that was at least 25, 30,000 years ago-pure race my ass...
