    Thank You! I Love visiting pertroglyph sites. I live in Sweden and we have petroglyphs here as well, carved into granite, some of them more than 3000 years ago. But I really Love to come back to New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and S. California and go looking for them. This short film really reminded me of some places between Pheonix and Tucson. I Love the way you did this. Thank you for your generosity. I hope to get back in the Fall. Blessings

      The older cultures had the same needs and tendencies as us "modern" people, therefore many petroglyphs and pictographs are located in or near the same places we inhabit. But I share your concern because they are vulnerable to vandalism. I do know where there are such sites that remain largely unknown, and found some substantial sites last year that are so hidden that I might be one of the few to have seen them since ancient times. But they are not on beaten paths, and are overgrown and hidden in rugged terrain.

    Nicely done video and as others mentioned in their comments, it's nice that you keep the location a secret to try and avoid the vandalism of these historical sites. I am in my 70's now and love the desert, in my younger years I travelled in my 1986 Jeep CJ7 all over and what is interesting as you already know, is that a lot of these symbols/petroglyphs are repeated throughout the Mojave Desert and elsewhere. Apparently this area didn't have Big Horn sheep or maybe you saw those Petroglyphs, but didn't show them. A lot of the symbols are repeated throughout the desert regions, so there must be some standardization in their meaning. Thank you again for a nice and interesting video. Happy trails...

    Hi ❤ I’m an person who loves and appreciates, grew up in and loves again in the SW ( Phoenix area). I love Coyote. And I love the way you shared those images with the music at the end, with out it.. I could not have.. seen them the same way on video.
    Something given like this, how ever long ago… it was done in a certain way.. the only way to really receive it in video as it was given when it was created is just how you did it. Taking over those would have ruined it.. or watching you walk in between them.
    Very well done, very in tune. Thank you 🙏

    At 4:48 you have a nice panel of petroglyphs. Those are unique for me. You also reveal mechanical weathering at it’s finest. What a complex fracture as this slab stayed in place. Heat and cold unrelenting over the years. Well, I wasn’t there so it could have happened suddenly, but I digress.
    Nice desert varnish on one of the three major types of lava.

    Young people, teenagers. They explored just outside of their Huts and would draw just to past their day, after their chores were done... Pottery shards are always nearby, revealing the Camp sites. The very nice drawings are by an Adult to get them started, and for them to practice.

    I have noticed in my 60+ years of roaming the southwest that there are two distinct versions of petroglyphs, with very little cross over between the two. I suppose that means two different people or times (maybe both). The most common ones I call Paiute, because that is what most scientists say they are. The second, I call old Jewish ( just my name for them, because they look like old Jewish petroglyphs I’ve seen. I’m in no way suggesting they came from Jewish people, just that is what they reminded me of). I have seen some places where there are both, but never intermixed on the same rock face. It’s as if two different cultures wrote the same thing down in two different languages. Most often, the old Jewish ones look older.

  • @EvaLapinska
    @EvaLapinska ปีที่แล้ว

    What`s a technique of this rock art? what was used to draw them? It was obviously created already on crashed stone pieces, because no one of visible compositions are interrupted - they all are complete and adjusted to the certain shape of the stone. But those stone piles are even more interesting than petroglyphs they are holding. Is there known any background about their origin?

  • @williammoran4898
    @williammoran4898 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just curious if you've reversed the contrast on your pics? In a few it seems like I see things in the areas left unmarked. Think like you want white letters have a white paper but only a black pen. The areas that would be ink can hold subliminal style images at times.

Do you see what I'm talking about ? They are way more sophisticated art than petroglyphs.
