Angono Petroglyphs

The Angono Binangonan Petroglyphs are a set of ancient rock carvings on the boundary of the towns of Angono and Binangonan in Rizal province, the Philippines, dated to the late Neolithic period, before 2000 BC, and considered the oldest known work of art in the Philippines. The carvings occupy a shallow rock shelter about 63 metres wide and 8 metres deep, with a rock face of roughly 25 by 3 metres carrying 127 recorded figures, of which 51 remain clearly visible today, mostly stylized human forms along with frogs, lizards and other shapes, many with round or dome shaped heads on V shaped bodies. Researchers believe the images served spiritual and healing purposes, with some traditions holding that carving a figure was a way of transferring the illness of a child onto the rock.
