China's rock art on show in Greece

ATHENS - The Yinshan Rock Carving Art Exhibition from China was launched at the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens on Thursday to introduce the primitive art of petroglyph to a Greek audience.

The global exhibition, supported by the China National Arts Fund and organized by Shenyang Normal University, traveled to Greece from Italy to present a gem of China's prehistoric civilization.

Traced to 30,000 years ago, the art demonstrates how the ancestors of various ethnic groups began to record their lives, express themselves and communicate feelings through rock carving.
