Cuban Rock Art

 Cuba  has interesting archeological remains worth visiting:

1/ Cuevas
    in addition to the Ambrosio Cueva, in the Province of Camagüey there is
    the Cueva del Behique (o de Pichardo-Moya), see https://www.archaeometry.org/cb.htm
    the Cuevas de la Sierra de Cubitas, see https://www.archaeometry.org/cubitas.htm

2/ Fundacion A.Nunez Jimenes
    Mochica and Tlatilco Cultures, see https://www.archaeometry.org/tlatilco.htm

Cueva de Ambrosio, GPS: N 23°11'22.6" / W 81°09'57.1" (Peninsula de Hicacos, Cuba)

This decorated cave has been discovered in 1974. Soon afterwards, some of the paintings might have been "re-freshed"  by Prof. Antonio Núñez Jiménez.
 Racso Fernandez identified the "spectacle" pattern found at the Ambrosio cave as the representation of the conjuntion of the moon and the sun.
We suggest that this conjunction might be connected (as in the example we have reported  for Carthage in year - 462 ) to a total solar eclipse.
