Archaeologists find huge snake engraving carved into a Venezuelan hillside in Amazonas .

They say it is one of the largest examples of giant prehistoric rock art in the world.

The subjects of these symbolic works include snakes, humans and centipedes.

The results reveal a high concentration of these monumental engravings in the region.

The Middle Orinoco is a unique hotspot for the sheer concentration of these enormous works of pre- Columbian art.

The snakes were intended to be seen from some distance, reflecting a shared understanding of the world and its inhabitants.

As regional tourism expands year on year , the sites are increasingly in need of protection, an activity in which indigenous people should have a leading voice.
