Angono Petroglyphs
The Angono–Binangonan Petroglyphs are petroglyphs carved into a rock wall between the boundaries of Angono and Binangonan in the province of Rizal, Philippines.
The Angono–Binangonan Petroglyphs are petroglyphs carved into a rock wall between the boundaries of Angono and Binangonan in the province of Rizal, Philippines. They consist of 127 human and animal figures engraved on the rock wall, probably during the Late Neolithic or before 2000 BC. They are the oldest known work of art in the Philippines. The inscriptions depict stylized human figures, frogs, lizards, and other designs that may have represented additional figures, although erosion has made some of them indistinguishable. The engravings are mostly symbolic representations and are associated with healing and sympathetic magic.
The site was declared a National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum of the Philippines in 1973. It is also the site of the Angono–Binangonan Petroglyphs Site Museum, also known as the National Museum of the Philippines – Rizal. The site was included in the World Inventory of Rock Art in 1985 and in the World Monuments Watch and World Monuments Fund's list of historic sites. It is also included in the Philippines' tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
