Some Petroglyphs

Thanks for sharing the photos of a place I’ll never see and for sharing your memories too. Beautiful!

Yes, yes! I read about these in book I got after seeing petroglyphs in Nevada’s Valley of Fire years ago. There’s a whole buncha panels on the “McConkie Ranch”, including one with severed heads dripping blood, and one of two pregnant women. Guess artist(s) had lots to say... They are all little bigger than life size, and are engraved into the rock before painted! Carving rock pictures seems a whole lot harder than just painting, and even that sounds really hard! Do you remember seeing any of the other stuff?…. you’d probably remember seeing beheading pictures, huh!?
