경상남도 울산시 울주군 방구천의 선사시대 암각화(Petroglyphs along the Bangucheon Stream)가 유네스코 세계문화유산에 등재됐다. 방구천을 따라 약 3km에 걸쳐 층층이 쌓인 절벽을 따라 자리 잡고 있다. 대곡리 암각화와 천전리 암각화 유적은 기원전 5천년부터 서기 9세기까지 여러 세대에 걸쳐져 만들어진 조각(긴수염고래, 귀신고래 등 고래와 이들을 사냥하는 사람들)이 빽빽하게 모여있다.

Petroglyphs along the Bangucheon Stream

The property is located along the Bangucheon Stream on the Republic of Korea’s southeastern coast, spanning about three kilometers through a landscape of stratified cliffs. It features two significant rock art sites: the Daegok-ri and Cheonjeon-ri Petroglyphs. These panels contain dense concentrations of engravings created by successive generations from 5,000 BCE to the 9th century CE. Carved using stone and metal tools, the petroglyphs depict a wide range of imagery and reflect both prehistoric and historic cultural expressions.
