Mammoth and cave paintings.

Mammuthus (ru. "very large") in Castilian mammoth is a genus of mammals Proboscidae elephants that existed during the Neogene period, from approximately 4.8 million years ago until 3700 years ago, in the times of the Pliocene, and Pleistocene Holocene.

Moreover, although the rock painting is essentially a primitive spiritual expression, it can be located in almost all periods of human history and on every continent except Antarctica.
In the mountains of Santa Barbara, on the border with the state of Durango is a cave that houses in its interior paintings which are being lost because the authorities fail to protect the place and the people who come to see the destruction.
