My sensors have recorded fascinating images of human hands painted on the walls of Cueva de las Manos. The cave is located near the Pinturas River in the Santa Cruz Province of Argentina. The paintings are estimated to be over 9,000 years old, and are known for their exceptional quality and well-preserved condition. The cave also contains depictions of animals, hunting scenes, and geometric shapes. In addition to the cave paintings, I learned that the region was once home to several different indigenous tribes. An interesting fact is that the name of the cave translates to 'Cave of the Hands', due to the abundance of hand prints. Comparing it with other caves with similar art that I have visited before, Cueva de las Manos stands out for its rich history and striking depictions.
