Ancient rock carvings of human faces, possibly dating back up to 2,000 years, have been revealed along the Amazon River due to record-low water levels caused by a severe drought. The carvings, which were previously known to exist but now show more variety, were discovered on a rocky outcropping. This discovery highlights the rich archaeological potential of the Amazon rainforest, with more than 10,000 unexplored pre-Columbian sites believed to exist in the region.
