«Cave paintings in Alta»
Natural monuments under the protection of UNESCO
Слайд 3Alta
The place for which tourists from all over the world
seek to the north of Norway is Alta. It is
located on the shore of the Gulf of Alta- Fiora. The city is famous for its northern lights and various winter entertainments, but the most important attraction is the open-air museum.
Слайд 4
History of the museum
In 1972, the first petroglyphs were found.
Since then, another 5,000 rock paintings have been found around
the Alta. On December 3 1985 petroglyphs in Alta were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Слайд 5Most of the rocks around Alta are overgrown with mosses
and lichens. After the discovery of the first petroglyphs, they
carefully began to remove these outgrowths from rocks and stones in order to find new drawings. When new pictures are found, they are photographed and entered into a database.
Слайд 6
Petrographic care is not needed. Only in the regions, the
drawings are filled with special red ocher for visibility.
Слайд 7Many drawings depict animals. Most often you can see deer,
which people hunt.
Слайд 8
Images of deer behind the fence indicate that control of
these animals has existed since ancient times.
Слайд 9In addition to deer, you can often see images of
moose, birds and fish.
Слайд 10
Disputes about who first saw the pictures do not cease
until now. According to one version, local boys made it,
on the other - scientists did it in 1972.
