Distributed in 218 sites and about 1300 rocks with more than 40,000 carvings, the rock art in Mount Karkom dates from the end of Pleistocene era (12,000 BC) to the Islamic period.

But most of the engravings you see today are from much later periods, viz. 4th millenium BC onwards. Mount Karkom has the highest concentration of rock engravings (petrogyphs) in Israel and the highest concentration of ibexes (wild goats) represented in rock than anywhere else in the world.
