Leave messages,
that are fascinating,
to try,
and interpret.
Ghostly chalk,
on the walls of time.
Left by people,
speaking to us,
telling their tales,
from 4,000 years ago.
Cheers to you from the ancient messengers~
Note: Petroglyphs are carved into rock and pictographs are painted onto rocks using dyes or resins. These petroglyphs and pictographs near Moab Utah are all around. You come upon them as you hike. They are 1500 to 4,000 years old and depict people, both male and female, who appear to be wearing clothes and feathers, and carry baskets and weapons. Some seem to be hunting. There are children of different ages and there are antelopes, deer, bears, snakes, birds and other animals, as well as rivers, lakes, the sun and much more. Look and see what you can find, after all, art is open to your interpretation.

We saw these same petroglyphs when we were driving through Utah. Almost missed them, but some other tourists pointed them out for us. Thanks for the good photos — I can actually see them better now!
I am happy you had a chance to see them in-situ and thank you for appreciating the photos.

These really are quite extraordinary. And so little known about to us here in Europe.
I am happy you are interested Margaret. Thank you. It can become a wonderful addiction, always being on the lookout for rock art, metates, and such. They really are hiding in plain sight all over the American southwest დ
Exciting discoveries go on awaiting you then!
Everywhere. They are waiting for you too.
