Valcamonica has one of the largest collections of rock drawings in the world. There have been about 200,000 figures and symbols carved into the rocks over a time period of approximately 8,000 years. Valcamonica，s pictures show various scenes and are connected through common themes like magic,war, navigation and agriculture.
The rock drawings discovered in Valcamonica were the first prehistoric symbols of their kind recognized anywhere in the world. UNESCO first recognized the drawings in 1979 when about 140,000 were discovered,however,since then many more have been uncovered.
These drawings are spread all across the valley. The carvings began to taper off during the Iron Age and fewer appeared after that. The last period has been attributed to（归功于…) the Camunni people. Still there are drawings that have been identified as being from the 19th century. Many of these were created using the technique of engraving (雕刻) .
Some of the figures discovered in Valcamonica have been superimposed (叠印) without any order,but in most cases they appear in logical orders and also explain the relationship between each picture or symbol to tell a story.
The first known modem report of the rock carvings was in 1909 when Walther Laeng happened upon two decorated rocks in Capo di Ponte. Scholars only took interest in the drawings in the 1920s. More rocks with engravings were soon found in the areas nearby and research into their history began. In the 1930s comprehensive study campaigns were undertaken.
It was after the Second World War that the cataloging and mapping of the engravings began. This task was taken up by various teams of experts from Italy and other countries that were led by Laeng. In 1955 preservation work on the rocks began.
In 1968,a large series of conferences were held where scholars from all over the world met to discuss the rock drawings,which give us some idea of what various societies of the past might have been like.

Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) is often described as a perfectionist gemMS (天才) ，and is admired as one of cinema，s greatest talents. As a director,he made only 13 feature films in a career of over 40 years,but many of them are regarded as masterpieces,and he earned nine Oscars.
Kubrick once said that a film was more like music than fiction,although all his films were adapted from novels.
He directed the Hollywood epic(史诗) Spartacus in 1960,the most expensive film of its day,and the only all-Hollywood movie he ever made. Soon after finishing this film,unhappy with the pressure of Hollywood,he moved from America to Britain.
Kubrick spent five years developing his film 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). This is probably his most famous and influential film. It was a science fiction (轰动一时的电影) which was popular with both critics and the public. Often described as a masterpiece,its special effects techniques won an Academy award and were a big influence on George Lucas when he came to make the Star Wars films. His final film was Eyes Wide Shut (1999) , starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.
The film A Clockwork Orange (1971) was withdrawn in the UK after Kubrick felt it had been misinterpreted,and it was only shown again in cinemas after his death.
He valued his privacy,and worried about safety. He certainly disliked travel after he moved to England,and he also had a well-known fear of flying. He once told a friend that he traveled to London four or five times per year,only for appointments with his dentist.
Kubrick was frequently unwilling to discuss personal matters publicly,and this gave rise to his reputation as a reclusive(隐居的) genius. This image of him was denied by his family after his death. It was often reported that Kubrick was rude and tactless to the people he worked with. For example,he had a good friendship with the actor Malcolm McDowell during the making of A Clockwork Orange. However,after the film was finished Kubrick never contacted him again.
Kubrick had little contact with the media,so few people knew what he looked like. Kubrick once told a reporter who came to his door that Stanley Kubrick wasn，t at home.
