A cave painting is all prehistoric drawing or sketch that exists in some rocks and caves. The term "rock" is derived from the Latin rupestris, and this of rupes (rock). So, strictly speaking, rock would refer to any human activity on the walls of caves, huts, rock shelters and even cliffs and ravines, among others. From this aspect, it is virtually impossible to isolate the pictorial representations of the other manifestations of prehistoric art as engravings, sculptures and petroglyphs, carved on stone by percussion or erosion. To be protected from erosion by the nature of the support, the paintings have withstood the passage of centuries.
