The paintings, which are attributed to the ancient Ciboneye People, have mysterious concentric circles, the meaning of which remains incomprehensible to experts. It turned out to be a chance archaeological discovery at the beginning of the 20th century, when a French doctor arrived at these caves by coincidence after his boat was shipwrecked. Historians have tried to link the drawings to a sophisticated pre-Columbian lunar calendar.
