The earliest known works of representational art are stone carvings. Often marks carved into rock or petroglyphs will survive where painted work will not. Prehistoric Venus figurines such as the Venus of Berekhat Ram may be as old as 250,000 years [citation needed], and are carved in stones such as tuff and limestone.
The rock carvings are endangered by erosion due to acid rain and some are thus covered either permanently or during certain times of the year. [3] Some have been painted red to make them more visible for tourists; a practice which has drawn criticism for removing the authenticity and original state of the drawings.
