Inga Stone

Prehistoric and Rock Art

The Inga Stone is a rock formation in gneiss in the middle of the Inga River near the city of Inga in Paraiba state, northeastern Brazil, also called Itacoatiara do Inga. Covering about 250 square metres across a vertical wall 46 metres long and 3.8 metres high, it bears figures carved in low relief that appear to represent animals, fruits and astronomical features such as the constellation Orion and the Milky Way.
