petroglyphs

Petroglyphs are ancient rock carvings made by people, often by chipping away at the surface of stone to create images or symbols. They can depict animals, human figures, or abstract designs, and are found around the world, particularly in areas with rich indigenous histories. These carvings serve various purposes, including religious or spiritual expression, storytelling, or marking territory. Petroglyphs provide valuable insights into the cultures, beliefs, and daily lives of the communities that created them, offering a visual connection to our shared human past.
