Albuquerque, New Mexico,  USA, Oct 1, 2021: designs and symbols carved on Volcanic Rocks in Petroglyph National Monument.
Nearly a thousand years ago natives inhabited the lower elevations around the San Francisco Peaks of Arizona. In an area so dry it would seem impossible to live, they built pueblos, harvested rainwater, grew crops and raised families. Today the remnants of their villages dot the landscape along with their other artifacts. These petroglyphs were found on Magnetic Mesa in Wupatki National Monument near Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

Wadi Rum is a desert valley cut into the sandstone and granite cliffs in southern Jordan. Known also as the Valley of the Moon it has been inhabited since prehistoric times (witnessed by the petroglyph inscriptions) and by semi nomadic tribes since the Nabataeans but is best known for its association with T E Lawrence - Lawrence of Arabia - who based himself here to encourage the Arab Revolt and to attack Turkish Forces of the Ottoman Empire during WW1. He was later immortalized by the film of the same name, made in 1962 by David Lean. Today the only inhabitants are Bedouin tribes and transient tourists.

Indigenous people have been carving in rock for thousands of years as a means of written communication.  Petroglyphs are either images, designs or symbols chiseled, carved or scratched on the surface of the rock.  Many of these carvings have endured over the centuries and are still visible today.  The image on the right side of this rock depicts a round face.  Modern natives in this area identify this as a Kachina, or spirit being.  Research suggests that the Kachina Culture came to this area around 1300AD.  Similar Kachina symbols are used in modern Puebloan pottery and weavings which helps make the connection from past to present.  We don’t always know the true meaning of these carvings or how to interpret them.  And maybe it’s not our place to try.  We can however enjoy them for their artistry.  These petroglyphs were photographed at Puerco Pueblo in Petrified Forest National Park near Holbrook, Arizona, USA.
