Definition Petroglyphs “rock carvings”  from petro, meaning “rock” and glyph, meaning “symbol”

a form of rock art that consist of designs carved into the surface of natural rock. Forms include lines, dots, numbers, letters, human, animal, supernatural beings or astronomical images.

These primitive images and the mythologies which imbue them are compelling, for they hint of a time when man- and woman-kind connected directly with the spirit world, calling on invisible energies for protection, health, fertility and well-being…or a ceremonial dancer?
