Album Info:

Already rich with aesthetic works on canvas and other art media, in 1965 National Artist Carlos “Botong” Francisco, on a steep climb to the hills and valleys of Antipolo, made a great discovery in a heavy forest. Petroglyphs, pre-historic inscriptions, carvings cut on the face of cliffs or rocks dating back to 3000 B.C. by prehistoric people, reminiscent of the hieroglyphics in Egypt and the cave paintings in Lascaux, France, were found in the caves of Angono. The cultural heritage site, is the most ancient Filipino site where prehistoric Filipino works of art were unearthed. Besides being the oldest work of art, the artwork provides our nation an evocative glimpse into the past and the lives of ancestors in earliest times. Over 120 rock engravings of human and animal figures led to archaeological finds which yielded fragments of earthenware, obsidian flakes and shells. ~~~Taken from "Angono, Land of the Giants"; Source: Manila Bulletin; Author: Mita Sison Duque; Date: 2003-01-25
