One of the most culturally significant places in Mexico is the area of Sierra de San Francisco, where there are rock paintings dating back to 100 BC. For approximately 1,400 years, the residents of this area created these artistic expressions of their early civilization, which also depict the unique relationships they enjoyed with their surrounding environment and one another. The region's temperatures and relative lack of humidity have prevented these paintings from decaying over time, giving the visitors of today the opportunity to look through a window in time at human life dating back more than 2,000 years, and to see how a culture developed over many centuries.
These paintings are one of numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites that can be found across the globe. Passing through an exhaustive and varied selection criteria, many sites are chosen for their creative genius, representation of important moments in human history, local cultural significance, and their testament to human diversity.
