"...Thus you'll know the stories of men, who carved the earth in honor of that terrible god, to whom they dedicated the name of the highest mountain."
For some time now, I've been dedicating myself to the imagery of prehistoric peoples and the places connected to it.
It all began on Monte Beigua, in front of the network of rock engravings that guided the development of my project on the park.
The name Beigua seems to derive from the pre-Roman deity Baigorix, whose cult was present throughout the alpine area.
There's another mountain whose name seems linked to the same etymology: Mont BĂ©go in France. Following this thread, I dedicated the summer to visiting this wonderful area, which is home to one of the sites with the most rock engravings in Europe.
On these rocks our ancestors expressed and passed down their life, their cults, their culture: aspects that remain a mystery to this day for those who study them. And it's precisely this mystery that offers us the opportunity to enter a mysterious dimension, with imagination as our only tool of inquiry.
