The Astuvansalmi rock paintings (Finnish: Astuvansalmen kalliomaalaukset) are located in Finland at the shores of the lake Yovesi, which is a part of the large lake Saimaa. The rock paintings are the largest found in the whole of Scandinavia. They consist of 65 paintings. The rock paintings were officially found by the Finnish archaeologist Pekka Sarvas in 1968, though locals knew about them already before that. The rock where the paintings are located looks like a human head when looked from a certain direction. The form is clearly visible during wintertime while viewed from the ice of the lake. The rock has presumably been some kind of a cult or ceremony site. The paintings are nowadays 7,7 to 11,8 metres above the water-level of lake Saimaa. The lake level was much higher during the making of the rock paintings. The oldest paintings are made 3000 - 2500 BC.
