As Tenxiñas
Another example of Gallaecian / Atlantic rock art neglected, forgotten and left to its own devices in the wild.
Note the couple of crosses added to the prehistoric panel in the Middle Ages or later (engravings made with metal tools are deeper and lighter than the ancient designs) in a clear attempt to Christianise and keep the heathen, demonic, paganistic forces of the countryside under control. After all, the priests arrived from outside and for centuries, never found it easy to reach every hidden corner of the country, safely protected by mountains and peopled by famously gruff and reclusive folks.
