Mount Karkom - Petroglyphs of a camel and an ibex
The difference in patina on the same rock shows the relative age of engraved figures. On this small stone, figures of a camel and an ibex are recognizable. The camel shows a lighter patina and is of a style typical of Period-V (Byzantine or Ancient Islamic period). The ibex, from Period-III (Chalcolithic), was engraved on the same rock three thousand years earlier.
