The image is located in the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in the Tongtian River basin
Chinese researchers have discovered a prehistoric rock painting site depicting the nomadic lifestyle in the Tongtian River basin, located in Qinghai Province, northwestern China, according to local authorities. This is reported by Xinhua News Agency, a partner of TV BRICS.
Situated at an altitude of 4,094 meters, this groundbreaking discovery provides valuable insights into how nomadic communities lived in the region. It could offer critical evidence for studying the culture of the Yangtze River, said Jamyang Nyima, head of the Yushu Research Institute of History and Culture.
The paintings feature various images, including silhouettes of humans and several animals, such as deer, wolves, tigers, horses, and camels. Additionally, some depict two-wheeled vehicles, offering useful insights into the functioning of society during that time.
The Tongtian River basin is a highly researched area, with over 60 sites already discovered, featuring more than 10,000 rock paintings, some of which date back over 3,000 years.
