The above is a neolithic stone carving dating back approximately 6,000 years. Located in Ketley Crag (Chatton), the discovery was made by a team of volunteers working on a four-year English Heritage backed project called the Northumberland and Durham Rock Art Project (NADRAP).
The practice of carving on rocks flourished during the Neolithic period (about 4,000 to 6,000 years ago). During this period in our past the high mountains and seashores were considered the domain of supernatural ancestors and so the vast majority of rock art is found in these areas.
Many carvings have been lost to natural erosion and human activities such as quarrying and field clearance.

The regulator said it has been undertaking several campaigns to educate the investors to be vigilant while taking investment decisions based on stock tips. The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine. The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers. "And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights.
