    Bowl-shaped cavities are found here in some large blocks of sandstone.
    There are several theories about their formation: Prehistorians believe they were man-made and used for ritual sacrifice. Geologists consider them to be the result of erosion.


    Whatever the hypothesis, it is impressive to see the number of these cavities gathered in the same place.

      Nobody knows exactly how the stamped holes were created, but they look cool and you can recognize faces.
