To start with, it’s hard to even define what exactly “fishing” is.

Horned animals and other depictions have been discovered at three megalithic dolmen sites in northern Israel, eight years after the serendipitous discovery of engravings on the ceiling of a humongous dolmen in the area.

There are thousands of dolmens in the southern Levant, mainly in Israel, Jordan and Syria, but they are generally undecorated.
