petroglyphs

Up

 


Explore the ancient rock art of the American Southwest.  Find the least boring way to explain the difference between a petroglyph and a pictograph.  Show us in an organized way some typical examples, and tell us what they might mean.  Why were these made & where can I go to find them?  Who is kokopelli?  An oversexed flute player?  The original "rock musician?"  Why was his image drawn so many times? This is a very visual topic....
