The Camuni, an ancient civilization, left behind a remarkable legacy in the form of rock drawings scattered across various sites. One such site is the Naquane National Park in Capo di Ponte, Italy. Here, visitors can marvel at the intricate petroglyphs etched onto Permian sandstone. Amongst these captivating artworks is CAMUNI Rock n. 23, showcasing a four-wheeled carriage drawn by horses. This depiction offers a glimpse into their transportation methods and reveals their advanced understanding of engineering. Another fascinating find is the CAMUNI figures of quadrupedal creatures engaged in duels. These engravings on Permian sandstone showcase their artistic prowess and provide insights into their beliefs and rituals. Hunting scenes are also prominently featured among the petroglyphs. The detailed depictions capture moments of bravery and skill as hunters pursue their prey with spears in hand. These scenes offer glimpses into the daily lives and survival strategies employed by the Camuni people. Not limited to hunting scenes alone, there are also intriguing portrayals of animals alongside human figures within village settings. These petroglyphs highlight not only their connection with nature but also hint at social structures within their communities. Warriors play a significant role in Camuni artistry as well; they are depicted wielding spears while guarding buildings or accompanied by loyal dogs. Such images shed light on both military practices and domestication of animals during that era. One particularly striking figure stands out - a large deity-like being adorned with deer antlers known as Cernunnos. This representation suggests religious beliefs held by the Camuni people, emphasizing reverence for nature's power and fertility. The technique used to create some engravings involved "hammering" small circular concavities onto rocks using stone or metal tools – evidence of sophisticated craftsmanship prevalent amongst this ancient civilization.
