In the north-east of Brasil/Brazil there is a state known as Paraíba. It contains, in its interior, many enigmatic inscriptions in stone. It is believed that indigenous people carved these inscriptions in the remote past. More than 25 locations have been identified where these types of inscriptions have been found carved into stone in Paraíba.
The largest display of these can be found at Pedra do Ingá. This appears to be the closest location of these carvings toward the Atlantic Ocean. These inscriptions are made in sandstone along the banks of a stream.

Similarity to the Dogon people of MALI ?
There appears to be a very similar stylistic representation between the Pedra do Ingá inscriptions and that of the Dogon people of Mali in Africa. Mali is located in central west Africa. Mali and Paraíba are slightly above and below the equator, respectively, on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
Notice the artwork paintings of the Songo shelter of the Dogon people. Some images painted in the Songo Shelter appear to be exactly the same as the Pedra do Ingá inscriptions and those of other inscriptions in Paraíba.
