Goat 3D Model Free Alpine ibex, a species of wild goat known for its impressive, large, curved horns

Alpine ibex Goat 3D Model

Modeled from images of a real specimen. The Pyrenean ibex (Capra pyrenaica pyrenaica) was a subspecies of wild goat native to the Pyrenees of Spain and France. It declined due to overhunting, habitat loss, and competition with domestic livestock, with populations dwindling throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The last known individual, a female named Celia, died in January 2000, marking its extinction, though a brief and unsuccessful cloning attempt followed in 2003. Base model created with AI tools, then sculpted/edited in Blender for scientific accuracy.

Pyrenean Ibex Skull

This rock was long known by local inhabitants as the 'Puppet Stone' in reference to the carvings upon it.  The main facing containing most of the engravings is badly damaged, especially the lower part, which remained underground for a long time.

To date over 150 engravings have been identified, including many animals, a dagger and a ploughing scene.  The animals include; stags with large antlers, fawns, chamois with short, hooked horns, ibex with backward-fgacing horns and swine (wild boars & pigs).  The canids, depicted in groups with downward-pointing tails, are interpreted as a pack of wolves.  The cattle, without horns or tails, may represent young oxen or cows grazing.

The presence of daggers which closely resemble finds from the graveyard of Remedello Sotto, dates most of the figures to 2900-2500 BC.  A few animals depicted in a dynamic style, similar to that of figures on the Cemmo 3 & 4 stelae, may be attributed to the Bell Beaker Culture (2500-2200 BC).

Valcamonica, Massi di Cemmo - Boulder 1

Located about 15m south of Cemmo 1, this boulder has an engraved northern face.  The surface has flaked in a few places, with a loss of engravings along the right edge and central part.  Two triangular gaps at the bottom divide the rock into three portions.

The figures include animals (ibex, fawns and canids, including packs of wolves and a dog, depicted with its tail up), weapons (an axe, a halberd and several daggers), human figures, a ploughing scene and a cart.  

No superimposition of decorations has been observed on Cemmo 2, and the engravings, made with a small, are homogeneous.

The two most interesting figures are engraved on the western portion: a cart with four, disc-shaped wheels and a plough.  Both of these are pulled by pairs of oxen with long, curved horns.  The Copper Age ploughs engraved on boulders are of the 'ard' variety, well adapted to mountain soils.  

The uniform style of the entire engraved surface may be dated to 2900-2500 BC by the presence of Remedello-type daggers.

Valcamonica, Massi di Cemmo - Boulder 2

interstellar boundary explorer ibex

A small surface revealing armed figures mixed with animals that in some cases appear to be shot with spears or arrows.  In particular, there is a small scene in which a running quadraped (ibex, chamois?) is pursued by a second animal ready to attack.  Many human figures are left incomplete.
