Here are fascinating photographs from Cindy Knoke!
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 hunting, both male and female, who appear to be wearing feathers and have weapons. 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.

These are one of the great bounties of the Southwest, as well as parts of Africa and western Asia, as our ancestors, in communicating with their contemporaries, were also able to leave such detailed messages for us, their progeny.
