Amazing! Such creative designs. Makes me wonder how they even had the time to do such large petroglyphs.

That definitely must have taken some time! Thanks for watching!

Life must have been just easy enough, after finding food and shelter, to spend time climbing up to these places and doing this

Very nice exploration and vid. But showing just where these treasures are is worrying. Unscrupulous rock art hunters still exist, not to mention plain old common vandals

@spikespa5208 thanks for watching and commenting sir. I appreciate the concern and I agree 100%, but ths spot is actually quite well known and documented I would say one of the most known in the state honestly, so saying the location isn't such a big deal. If you watch my other petroglyph video, that spot is not well known and is quite hard to find, and in that video I do not say the exact location or name of the location, because I would like to protect that spot and keep it rarely seen. Again thanks for watching!

In the Bible, Ezekiel 10:10 describes a vision of God's chariot throne with wheels that appear to be "as if a wheel were within a wheel". The wheels are also described as moving in any direction without turning, and having rims full of eyes.

Aside from the obvious stuff like sun and animals, I think it's mostly lost to time, I think not even tribal leaders today agree on the meanings of alot of this stuff. Thank for watching!

Hard to watch with your camera swiping all over the place, back and forth forth and back again… nice subject though

@xmo552 I thought maybe they were possibly drill holes too, but as I looked around more it was on alot of the rocks and in odd places so no way it was drill holes, must be natural. The circle perfectly around the hole was a cool one. Thanks for watching.

Petroglyphs very interesting but I'm gonna need you to look at what the petroglyphs are painted on please. When you say red rocks look at the wall..notice the pattern. That's brick and block work and one of the sun petro's is describing sun radiation melting. Seems Indians have marked old massive structures. You were at a melted building. Find inside.

Petroglyphs aren't painted on rock. They're pecked into the dark colored mineral patina on the rock surface.
