Ancient Wonders of Archaeology, Art History & Architecture-4

The Rock of Guatap, Colombia is 7,005 ft. high provides 659 steps to climb to the top & was formed millions of years ago. The Tahamies Indians, former inhabitants of this region, worshiped the rock .

On the northern side of the rock, the letter “G” and part of the letter “U” can be seen in large white writing.

According to Discovering Ice, the towns of Guatap and El Peol had been arguing over the ownership of the rock when residents of Guatap decided to settle the matter by painting their town's name on the boulder. The citizens of El Peol then noticed the work being done and a large mob was formed to stop it. That is why only the “G” and part of the “U” were completed.
