A  painting that depicts a horse's head is on the wall opposite the mouth of Cueva del Portalón (Porch Cave). The first person to mention it in writing was Jesús Carballo in 1910. Ever since, this head has been a source of controversy, firstly because some interpreted the simple motif as a bear while others saw a horse. Tracings seem to dispel any doubt: they clearly show the head of an equid with several identifiable anatomical parts including the base of the neck, the jaw line, the mouth, the forehead line, ears and eye.

The sacred books of the Torah (the Old Testament for Christians), the Books of Solomon, the Gospels (New Testament)and theCorán.

Their god is Alá.This religion is monotheistic.

 Christianity

Christianity is a monotheistic religion.

Is based on the recognition of Jesus of Nazareth as its founder and central figure. His followers believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah (or Christ) prophesied in the Old Testament, who died for the redemption of the sins of mankind, and rose three days after his death.

Within its sacred texts and writings, he shares with Judaism the Tanakh, which is, together with the Septuagint Bible (Tanach oldest in its current form) the basis and source for the Old Testament of the different Bibles. For this reason it is considered an Abrahamic religion along with Judaism and Islam.

They belive in god such as a trinity: the father, the son, and the Holy spirit.

Judaism

Its practice is based on the teachings of the Torah, also called the Pentateuch, comprising, as its name suggests, five books. The Torah or Pentateuch, in turn, is one of the three books that comprise the Tanakh (or Old Testament, according to Christianity), which is attributed to divine inspiration.

The main feature of the Jewish faith is belief in a God, that would have created the universe and chosen the Jewish people to reveal the law contained in the Ten Commandments and the ritual prescriptions of the third and fourth books of the Torah.

Abraham, and Abraham is to the, Christian and Islamic, the first of the post-Flood patriarchs of Israel.For the Jewish Abraham  is the founder of the judaism.

Their sacred texts are part of the Torá and the Talmud.

•  Jews, Christians and Muslims believe in the same God, but Muslims and Jews see God in strictly monotheistic terms, whereas most Christians believe in the mystery of the Trinity.
