Despite its vast, size and ancient civilization. China was thought until very recently to be void of rock art-prehistoric pictures painted or carved on cliffs and cave walls recording life and customs of the ancients. However, after years of field research, Mr.Jiang Zhenming, author of the present album, and his colleagues have proven that China is in fact rich with this art. Timeless History, illustrated with more than one hundred carefully selected full-color photographs, not only brings to light this aspect of China’s natural heritage, but also describes in detail the author’s adventures across China in search of rock art.
